Bind OData Service to a PivotGrid

Hi,

I tried to use the RadGridView with an OData Endpoint.

I took a look into the documentations but didn't find any good sample.

I tried it with the QueryableDataProvider.

But my data was not loaded. It always runs into an exception:

Constructing or initializing instances of the type DynamicClass1 with the expression (Param_0 != null) is not supported.

This Exception is thrown by the OData Client.

Below my simplified code:

View:

<Window x:Class="ODataClientTest.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:oDataClientTest="clr-namespace:ODataClientTest"
        xmlns:pivot="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation/pivot"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800"
        d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance oDataClientTest:MainWindowViewModel}">
    <Grid>

        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        
        <pivot:RadPivotGrid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" DataProvider="{Binding ReportElements}" />
        
        <pivot:RadPivotFieldList Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" DataProvider="{Binding ReportElements}" />

    </Grid>
</Window>

ViewModel

using System.Diagnostics;
using Telerik.Pivot.Queryable;

namespace ODataClientTest;

public class MainWindowViewModel : BaseNotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public MainWindowViewModel()
    {
        MyOdataContext dataContext = new();

        ReportElements = new()
                         {
                             Source = dataContext.ReportElements,
                             DeferUpdates = true
                         };

        ReportElements.StatusChanged += (sender, args) =>
                                        {
                                            if (args.Error != default)
                                                Debugger.Break(); // Here I can see the exception
                                        };
    }

    public QueryableDataProvider ReportElements
    {
        get => GetValue<QueryableDataProvider>();
        set => SetValue(value);
    }
}

My Question now: Is there any way to connect my OData Source to a PivotGrid?

Unfortunalety I could not use the LocalDataProvider, as the OData API returns a lot of data which must be filtered beforehand.

I also tried to use the normal GridView with works perfectly with the QueryableDataServiceCollectionView. But: It does not fit our needs, like Grouping, Creating dynamic aggregates (sum, average, etc.).

We are currently using .Net 4.7.2.

Many thanks!
