How sad it si to see how this tool has been discountinued by Microsft.
I have a project running live on the web regardeless of the lack of support from Microsoft but this forum
It works great and I just need to have a little more deeper knowledge of the internals (how DD really works from tip to toe) so I could build a more proffessional application
Oleg Sych's book is really helpful. Nevertheless, still there are so many things (too many versions too) in CSharp Bits by Stephen Naughton
PROBLEM IS THAT MICROSOFT DIDN'T SEE OR IS NOT CAPABLE OF SEEING HOW GOOD THIS PRODUCT IS !!!!
Should I have more knowledge on this I could have made a fortune with my Dynamic Data applications .... but I still need to have something Micrrsoft always denied me .... REAL McCOY KNOWLEDGE ON DYNAMIC DATA PROFFESSIONAL CUSTOMIZATION

Should I have more knowledge on this I could have made a fortune with my Dynamic Data applications ....
I am making my daily living writing DD applications so it is possible, Ii have not had any special training, I don't even have Oleg's book (sorry Oleg I hope to get it soon)
The only issue with DD is the community has not taken it very seriously, where as the community has gone mad over MVC and it's like :(
See my blog C# Bits | Twitter @sjnaughton Always seeking an elegant solution.
Don't take me wrong. I am "Alabando tu Trabajo" (means tht I admire so much your job) instead of complaining. I mention your CSharp Bits not because it something bad but rather extense and complex and that had been adjusted dinamically as the framework version
vary with each release of Visual studio
YOU ARE GREAT MY FRIEND .... !!!!
There is something in which I agree with you: Microsoft or whoever else hasn't taken this tool seriously and believe IT IS MUCH BETTER IN FEATURES LIKE SCAFFOLDING THAN MVC .... (I don't know MVC but in forums about it they admit what I have just said)
As Stephen has said we have continued to invest in this technology since it was first released with .NET 3.5 SP1. With .NET 4 we got this technology about where we wanted to with .NET 4.5 we our new Model Binding technology enables DynamicField and DynamicControl
by default and that is our recommended pattern.
We are in the process of bringing scaffoldling to Web Forms just like we have in MVC. The scaffolding we are bringing to Web Forms will be based on DynamicControl for List Pages and DynamicEntity for Details, Create, Update, Delete pages. The version based
on Dynamic Data is better then the MVC scaffolding because our Details, Create, Update, Delete pages will not need to be modified when your model changes since they are based on Dynamic Data.
Our hope is that with Model Binding and Scaffolding we will open more people's eye's to what you can do with Dynamic Data.
Would you mind giving me a little help with something I haven't been able to achieve?
I have a table in which I store questions (questions entity) [[for the example let's just assume that its structure is pretty straightforward]]
I have a second table in which I use some of the questions I already have in the first table (surveys entity) [[for the example let's just assume that its structure is pretty straightforward too]]
FIRST: I'd like to find a way of showing all of the questions while I am in the "survey's form" so I can pick as many as needed at once, with a single click
SECOND: I'll need to allow the user to enter the answers to those questions (for each specific type of survey) and save all of the answers at once in a third entity (answers entity) with a single click also.
