Indicates wheather or not the OData should use the odata.type control information for the root element.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

The OData spec expects the root element in a POST or PATCH request to use the control information annotation odata.type . Some services do not accept this annotation. This property can be set to true for such cases and the annotation will be ommited from the request. This property is valid only when the DataFormat property is set to JSON or when set to AUTO and a JSON format is detected.

This is what an example on what this annotation looks like on a requests post data:

{
  "@odata.type": "#NorthwindModel.Category",
  "CategoryName": "Electronics"
}
