Has the $format parameter been removed with the VS2008 SP1 release of ADO.NET Data Services. I try to use it and I get the error:
The query parameter ‘$format’ begins with a system-reserved ‘$’ character but is not recognized.
I think the support for the Atom stuff is very cool, but can you get ‘plain old xml’ too?
This is now done via the http ‘Accept’ header; use ‘application/json’ for json. You could try ‘text/xml’ for POX, but it isn’t mentioned in the article here.
(update: text/xml will return atom, based on the table here)
