OData server crashes when trying to update (PATCH) a property of type NTSTopology.Geometry.Point

[fededim]

Just to be more precise, the API action does not "crash", instead returns bad request due to an invalid model state. If you inspect with the debugger the property ModelState.Root.Errors[0].Exception you find the above exception (it's the only one present).

I have replied the error on OData/WebApi#2271 (comment)

I saw the Point class definition here: https://github.com/NetTopologySuite/NetTopologySuite/blob/develop/src/NetTopologySuite/Geometries/Point.cs

This class doesn't have a default constructor and we can't instantize an object of "Point". Please use the POCO (a plain old CLR object, or plain old class object (POCO) ) class as the model type.

For a no-POCO, maybe need a converter. Here's a workaround that you might try it: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/odata/how-to-consume-sql-spatial-data-with-web-api-v2-2-for-odata-v4/
