WCF Data Service Client supported in Consumer Preview of Win8 ?

Question

Now that the Consumer Preview is out, could someone tell me if the Client is supported in a C#, WinRT,  Metro App?

config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V3;

Add service reference, and building the client with the DataSvcUtil tool was not supported in the Developer Preview.  Please tell me this works now.

Answer 2

Thank you for your reply.

Does that mean you are going to put out a new release that we can download?

I know it's top secret information, but can you tell me if that will be in 1 week, 1 month, or at the release of Windows 8 this fall?

Answer 4

Hi,

You kind of answered it yourself :-). I don't think anybody knows, even us, we're still working on it.

Thanks,

Hi Terrence,

 Here is a sample preview of the OData Client library for Windows 8 Metro.

Your feedback/comments on this library would be great.
