Is there a way to bind records to an action parameter?

[paule96]

Hi Odata Community,

is it possible to bind something like this:

public class SampleEntity{
//....
}

public record Sample(
    string Name,
    string NickName
);

var modelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
var sampleSet = modelBuilder.EntitySet<SampleEntity>(nameof(SampleEntity));
var sampleAction = sampleSet.EntityType.Action("SampleAction");
sampleAction .Parameter<Sample>("sample");

to ODataActionParameters. So to a method like that:

[ODataAttributeRouting]
public class SampleEntityController : ODataController{

   [HttpPost]
   public async Task<ActionResult> SampleAction(
      [FromRoute] Guid key,
      [FromBody] ODataActionParameters parameters)
   {
   }

}

If I try to do this, I see in the debugger always the $exception variable with the content:

Cannot dynamically create an instance of type 'Sample'. Reason: No parameterless constructor defined.

What is overall true, because a record needs all the properties set over the ctor.

But is their a way to force AspNetCoreOData to handle records correctly?
Or is this currently not implemented.

Sidenote: if anybody know how I can access the $exception from my code outside of the debugger I would be also very happy :)
