I really would like to know if DD is going to go or not.
In the past I have spent a lot of time and money learning Silverlight but now people do not even talk about it.
Before, Silverlight was the future and all the gurus including John Pappa, Loren Bugnion etc were talking about it.
In the last Microsoft conference they did not even mention silverlight.
Is this going to happen to Dynamic Data as well?
For some reason I do not like MVC. I think it is only a buzz but it will go soon. I think web forms will stay but I would like to know for sure if DD is going to stay.
I MUST ADD that Dynamic Data, as it is, is good enough and nobody else than Naughton has made such a contribution to sustain it than it will be really a shame if that feature is stolen from the .Net framework
At least leave as it is now
We hope that Naughton and Oleg Sych books we will have enough inorder to learn how to effectively customize it at an advanced level, WHIC IS BY THE WAY, the only real flaw of Dynamic Data ... un-knowlege (lack of really good material to learn about the product,
state of the art, classy, advanced to intermediate level)

No it is not it's baked into ASP.Net and there is more comming in vNext remember DD is not a new framework like MVC is just web forms with Metadata, so MS don't go on about DD but all the new features shown at BUILD (see them here
Create rich, data-driven Web apps with ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms) work with DD. you can even enable DD in a standard Website using a simple extension method
It's all there and will continue to be there fro a long while, also remember that although there is a big BUS about MVC ASP.Net Web Forms has more uses by a big margine.
See my blog C# Bits | Twitter @sjnaughton Always seeking an elegant solution.
By the way, I am reading all of your articles to learn more about DD and I will have a couple of questions :-)
Also, I have added an entry to your blog requesting the database for the builder (house) sample code. I am struggling to use the excell sheet to fill the daabase with data. I would appreciate if you could send it to me by email
Yes you are right. Howeverit is only the script to create the DB not to fill the DB with data.
There is a separate excel spreasheet to fill the DB with data but I am strugling to do it.
There is also another database that you used in your
security/Role permission serias that I cannot find anywhere. You mention on your tutorial that you created the roles in the datase and if someone needed the DB you could email it.I would appreciate if you could email them to my email.

Thank you
