I would like to move the dynamicdata folder into a secure admin folder. Doing so and then trying to access the default.aspx page throws the error:

The file '/REMOVEDTHISPART/DynamicData/PageTemplates/ListDetails.aspx' does not exist.

How to fix?

 Have a look at David Ebbo's blog post Using Dynamic Data with multiple databases where he shows how to change the default folder of DD.

 Have a look at David Ebbo's blog post Using Dynamic Data with multiple databases where he shows how to change the default folder of DD.

I have worked through the blog post, and the associated forum post. Though I see the connection to my question, I do not understand how to integrate the new pathway portions of that global.asax file.

Modifying the default global.asax provided by DD to include the new pathways as talked about in that blog post is what I think I need to do,  but I don't know how to do that properly.

 EDIT: I have been able to successfully modify the pathways. Problem now is that security is still not working. Any user, not just the admin, can view database tables.

The default DD page URL is ~/Admin/Default.aspx, but clicking on a table and the URL shows as ~/Clients/ListDetails.aspx (thus no security, because its not in the admin folder...???)

My global.asax file:

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Routing" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.DynamicData" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Collections.Generic" %>

<script RunAt="server">

    public static Dictionary<string, MetaModel> Models = new Dictionary<string, MetaModel>();
    
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) {
        RegisterContext(routes, "L2S_COD", typeof(CODDataContext), "~/Admin/DynamicData");
    }

    private static void RegisterContext(RouteCollection routes, string dbName, Type contextType, string ddFolder) {
        var model = new MetaModel() {
            DynamicDataFolderVirtualPath = ddFolder,
            FieldTemplateFactory = new FieldTemplateFactory() {
                TemplateFolderVirtualPath = "~/Admin/DynamicData/FieldTemplates"
            }
        };

        model.RegisterContext(contextType, new ContextConfiguration() { ScaffoldAllTables = true });

        routes.Add(new DynamicDataRoute("{table}/ListDetails.aspx")
        {
            Action = PageAction.List,
            ViewName = "ListDetails",
            Model = model
        });

        routes.Add(new DynamicDataRoute("{table}/ListDetails.aspx")
        {
            Action = PageAction.Details,
            ViewName = "ListDetails",
            Model = model
        });
    }

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    }

</script>

Hi there, have a look at Dynamic Data Samples Jun 17 2008, which has a sample SecureDynamicData.zip this uses routing to limit access to table based on user roles.
