var builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
var entity = builder.EntityType();

in your code Common.Student seems to be EntityTpye , but i currently have it as a String "Common.Student" need to convert it to Tpye at runtime.

To dynamically ignore properties at runtime in .NET EF Core and OData, you can achieve this by using reflection to access the entity type and ignore the specified property.

var builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
var entity = builder.EntityType();

// Get the property information using reflection
var propertyInfo = typeof(Common.Student).GetProperty("xyzProp");

// Ignore the property dynamically
entity.Ignore(propertyInfo);
