When ODS / API instance you are working with contains extensions, custom profiles or custom composites, you will not be able to use Ed-Fi core SDK from the NuGet feed as described in Using Ed-Fi Core SDK . However you can use code generation to create customized SDK.
Generating a new SDK
Visit Using Code Generation to Create an SDK article for step-by -step guidance for SDK generation. Install and configure required software, Download and extract SDK Generator source code. Pay attention to the extracted folder name and path
Run the SDK generator to generate SDK jar file.
Execute each of the following commands from the directory of the previously generated SDK jar file (e.g. C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-API-SDK\target\scala-2.10).
java -jar sdk-generate.jar csharp --url https://api.ed-fi.org/api/metadata/resources/api-docs --baseDir C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-API-SDK\CSharpSDK --apiPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Api.Resources --modelPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Models.Resources --helperPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Helpers --projectName EdFiClientSDK
java -jar sdk-generate.jar csharp --url https://api.ed-fi.org/api/metadata/descriptors/api-docs --baseDir C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-API-SDK\CSharpSDK --apiPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Api.Descriptors --modelPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Models.Descriptors --helperPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Helpers --projectName EdFiClientSDK
java -jar sdk-generate.jar csharp --url https://api.ed-fi.org/api/metadata/types/api-docs --baseDir C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-API-SDK\CSharpSDK --apiPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Api.Types --modelPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Models.Types --helperPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Helpers --projectName EdFiClientSDK
java -jar sdk-generate.jar csharp --url https://api.ed-fi.org/api/metadata/assessment/api-docs --baseDir C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-API-SDK\CSharpSDK --apiPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Api.AssessmentComposite --modelPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Models.AssessmentComposite --helperPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Helpers --projectName EdFiClientSDK
java -jar sdk-generate.jar csharp --url https://api.ed-fi.org/api/metadata/enrollment/api-docs --baseDir C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-API-SDK\CSharpSDK --apiPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Api.EnrollmentComposite --modelPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Models.EnrollmentComposite --helperPackage EdFi.OdsApi.Sdk.Helpers --projectName EdFiClientSDK
Open up Visual Studio and create a new project. Choose the type Visual C# > ClassLibrary. Name the project "EdFiClientSDK".
Copy C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-API-SDK\CSharpSDK\EdFiClientSDK\EdFi folder to newly created project folder
Click on Soultion Explorer > Show All Files
Add the Copied files to project
Expand the folders and notice the Apis, Models, and Helpers namespaces simillar to EdFi provided core SDK.
Use the Package Manager Console to install the RestSharp library. At the PM> prompt, enter "install-package restsharp".
Compile the solution to make sure there are no errors
Using the SDK
Now you can use the project same way as you did in Using Ed-Fi Core SDK NuGet.
