EdmError/EdmLocation does not provide file name about odata.net HOT 4 CLOSED

An EdmxReader directly constructs from a XmlReader but the latter one could not offer any information about the file stream, much less the file name. Also in some condition where the reader takes only a string as input, there will be no file name at all.

from odata.net.

I suppose we could start with the XmlReader.BaseUri and for the cases where we don't have it (like when created out of a random stream) then whoever asks for the reader should keep track of the 'name' and pass it along. For example, when the EdmxParser calls the GetReferencedModelReader it passes an URI and gets back an XmlReader - anything it reads out of that should use either the reader's BaseUri or the original Uri passed to GetReferencedModelReader as the 'file name'.

The same pattern could be used for the EdmxReader.- we could add overloaded methods to initialize it with the XmlReader and an additional parameter telling it what 'file name' that reader represents and the reader would just pass that along to CsdlLocation objects created from that file.

from odata.net.

We have added a public string property called Source to CsdlLocation to indicate the source Uri of the Xml. For each referenced model, we populate this property with the Uri of it extracted from the top-level Edmx. Users DON'T need to pass any 'name' through XmlReader or directly to EdmxReader. This could help in your scenario and you can expect to see it in v6.10.

Awesome, thanks!
