Hello,

I’m trying to build a portable class library targeting .NET, Silverlight, Windows RT and Windows Phone that acts as an OData client. I’m using Visual Studio 2012 and I have this error. Can anyone help me please to skip this ? What I did wrong ?

Thank you !

Hello,

Such issue is because of missing components of your Visual Studio installation. The task you’re trying to perform requires WCF Data Services 5.6.0 RTM Tools Installer which is the main thing that will make the function available. Download WCF Data Services 5.6.0 RTM Tools Installer.

After installing the tools, your problem won’t bother you anymore.

You can get more of this product from this MSDN page.
