Searching OData services

In this recipe let's search OData using $filter. Netflix OData API supports $filter.

Getting ready

Let's create a new solution and name it Recipe3_NetflixSearch or copy the project from Recipe1_Netflix under the folder Ch4_Recipes.

How to do it...

1. Open MainPage.xaml and add a text block, textbox, and a search button:

   <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent" DataContext="{Binding}">
     <Grid.RowDefinitions>
       <RowDefinition Height="152"/>
       <RowDefinition Height="234"/>
       <RowDefinition Height="382*"/>
     </Grid.RowDefinitions>
   
     <!--TitlePanel contains the name of the application and page title-->
   
     <StackPanel x:Name="TitlePanel" Grid.Row="0" Margin="12,17,0,28">
   
     <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationTitle" Text="Ch4 Recipes" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}"/>
     <TextBlock x:Name="PageTitle" Text="Netflix Search" Margin="9,-7,0,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle1Style}"/>
   
     &lt...
