Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] Store manager improvements

[Eugen F <feu...@ya...>]

I've updated the repository, so maybe you can check the changes.

Note that there is a change in BaseEnpoint "throw new ArgumentException("HTTP Mode can only be GET/POST, derived implementations should override this property if they wish to support more methods");" that I had to comment in order to make the version from repository connect to an endpoint. (no relation to my changes).

Also I tried to make an external endpoint work with that entities change, but i only get timeouts...because of the complex query i think.

Forking a Mercurial repository copies all branches, however if you could commit your changes to the default branch that would be best

Thanks,

I have made the changes so it's now both MDI and tabs, forked repository at https://bitbucket.org/feugen24/storemanager_tabs. Still I'm not sure it's the correct version because there were lots of tags when creating the fork, so i picked the "dynamic" that was selected by default. I assumed dynamic means (latest).
