Example

The following statement uses LINQ query syntax to retrieve Assignment 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 Assignments entity set can then be accessed as context.Assignments. For more information, see Querying OData feeds for Project 2013 reporting data.

var query =
    from a in Assignments
    orderby a.ProjectName, a.ResourceName
    select new
    {
        Project = a.ProjectName,
        Resource = a.ResourceName,
        AssignmentBookingType = a.AssignmentBookingName,
        AssignmentStartDate = a.AssignmentStartDate,
        Task = a.TaskName,
        AssignmentWork = a.AssignmentWork,
        AssignmentCost = a.AssignmentCost,
        AssisgnmentCostVariance = a.AssignmentCostVariance,
        AssignmentFinishVariance = a.AssignmentFinishVariance
    };

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

var query = Assignments
    .OrderBy(a => a.ProjectName)
    .ThenBy(a => a.ResourceName)
    .Select(a => new
    {
        Project = a.ProjectName,
        Resource = a.ResourceName,
        AssignmentBookingType = a.AssignmentBookingName,
        AssignmentStartDate = a.AssignmentStartDate,
        Task = a.TaskName,
        AssignmentWork = a.AssignmentWork,
        AssignmentCost = a.AssignmentCost,
        AssisgnmentCostVariance = a.AssignmentCostVariance,
        AssignmentFinishVariance = a.AssignmentFinishVariance
    });

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

https://ServerName/pwa/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProjectServerData/Assignments()?
    $orderby=ProjectName,ResourceName&            
    $select=ProjectName,ResourceName,AssignmentBookingName,AssignmentStartDate,TaskName,
    AssignmentWork,AssignmentCost,AssignmentCostVariance,AssignmentFinishVariance

All three of the sample queries get the same data.
