Example

The following statement uses LINQ query syntax to retrieve Resource entity data from the OData interface of the Project Server reporting tables. To use the statement in an application, set a service reference to the ProjectDataService, and initialize the ReportingData context. The Resources entity set can then be accessed as context.Resources. For more information, see Querying OData feeds for Project 2013 reporting data.

var query =
    from r in Resources
    orderby r.ResourceName
    where (r.ResourceCount > (Int32)0)
    select new
    {
        ResourceName = r.ResourceName,
        ResourceEarliestAvailableFrom = r.ResourceEarliestAvailableFrom,
        ResourceStandardRate = r.ResourceStandardRate,
        ResourceMaxUnits = r.ResourceMaxUnits
    };

The preceding statement can be written by using Lambda expression syntax, as follows:

var query = Resources
    .OrderBy(r => r.ResourceName)
    .Where(r => (r.ResourceCount > (Int32)0))
    .Select(r => new
    {
        ResourceName = r.ResourceName,
        ResourceEarliestAvailableFrom = r.ResourceEarliestAvailableFrom,
        ResourceStandardRate = r.ResourceStandardRate,
        ResourceMaxUnits = r.ResourceMaxUnits
    });

Either statement creates the following REST URL (all on one line).

https://ServerName/pwa/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProjectServerData/Resources()?
    $orderby=ResourceName&
    $filter=ResourceCount gt 0&
    $select=ResourceName,ResourceEarliestAvailableFrom,ResourceStandardRate,ResourceMaxUnits

All three of the sample queries get the same data.

Sample results of the Resources query

ResourceName	ResourceEarliestAvailableFrom	ResourceStandardRate	ResourceMaxUnits
Resource1	3/4/2012 8:00:00 AM	$19.00	100%
Resource2	3/2/2012 8:00:00 AM	$18.00	100%
Resource3	3/3/2012 8:00:00 AM	$15.50	100%

Remarks

Each entity set has a specific page-size limit. For information about page limits for on-premises and online ProjectData queries and how to set the on-premises page limit, see ProjectData - OData service reference.
