ExpandSegment Class
The segment of a query that indicates whether data should be returned inline instead of as deferred content.
Assembly: System.Data.Services (in System.Data.Services.dll)
An $expandclause indicates that each $expanditem should be fully expanded. For example, the value OrderLines.Product.Image with $expand causes OrderLines, the Product of each element in OrderLines, and the Image of the Product of each element in OrderLines to be expanded.
The left-most property in an $expand clause must be a property on the entity type within the entity set identified by the last path segment in the request URI.
Redundant expand clause rules are acceptable and ignored.
