OData v4 Client Code Generator

This extension contains a T4 item template which is used to generate C# and VB .NET client-side proxy classes for OData protocol version 4.0 (http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/cs02/part1-protocol/odata-v4.0-cs02-part1-protocol.doc) services. The generated classes work with the rebranded OData Client library for .NET (http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.OData.Client). 

The Changelog will now address any changes made to the extension itself. Should you want to install versions of ODL newer than what comes with the extension package, you may do so but the extension is not guaranteed to work with the newer version of ODL.
