How to have multiple entity sets for the same OData controller in ASP.NET MVC 5

I was following this sample to create Odata end-point

In this it says:

Note that an endpoint can have multiple entity sets. Call EntitySet for each entity set, and then define a corresponding controller.

Now, I cant have a controller for every single entity set and I want to give OData support.

If I want to have multiple entity sets in a single controller how do I go about doing it?

Regards.

This might be a decent sample to give you some ideas. It creates Dynamic OData Routes

The default routing convention determines the controller name by the entity set name.

If you have multiple entity sets in a single controller, how can WebAPI select the correct controller?

Unless you use attribute routing convention or your self-defined routing convention for each action in the controller, which I think is ugly and not recommended.

Check this for attribute routing:
