Hi ... I face a Medias table contains the Url column, I wanna change the UIHint attribute depend on the album types: Audio, Video or Image. Is there a way to change the attribute value at runtime. I solve the issue using switch visiblity of the controls
in the same FieldTemplate, but i'm lookng for better solution if it's possible ..

Hi,
First many thanks for sharing us a nice solution!
Then if you wanna dynamically change the Attribute……Hum, As far as I see, Because dynamic data has been totally fixed and there's a complicated function to analyze and reflect the whole Attributes, I'm afraid it's hard to do to cope with that.
I find a way to add attributes in the entities at runtime then register them in Global.asax, but I tried a lot to do the same thing in the code behind with no luck!! coz in the Application_Start dynamic data scaffold the entities and reflect the whole attributes
..
I 'll struggle to come up with a better solution ..

Finally I did it ..
I Declare the DynamicFiled inside List page and set the UIHint property using inline condition, problem solved!!

Hi sjnaughton ...
Also I solve it by creating a simple condition in the EntityTemplate ..
