Is there a method to create 2 views of 1 table? Let me try to give an example.

Say I have a Customers table and I create a custom page with the folder name Customers. This gives me the first view of Customers.

Now I want to design a 2nd custom Customers page that has a different purpose and view. Is there a way to do this.

Do the routing routines somehow allow this?

Thanks,

Tommy

Try something like this:

• When creating links that you want going to the alternate view, call table.GetActionPath("SpecialDetails", GetDataItem())
• In global.asax, add the new action name to the constraint list of the route, e.g. action = "List|Details|SpecialDetails|Edit|Insert".  Or you can remove the constraints altogether.

David, that works great!

For others to see:

In "global.asax":

        // This route uses a different page for each action. To use an all-in-one page instead, please
        // comment out this route and uncomment the following two
		routes.Add(new DynamicDataRoute("{table}/{action}.aspx")
		{
			Constraints = new RouteValueDictionary(new { action = "List|Details|Edit|Insert|View2" }),
			Model = model
		});

In a custom page folder in the list file "List.aspx":

        
            
                
   					"View2Link" runat="server"
                        NavigateUrl='<%# table.GetActionPath("View2", GetDataItem()) %>'
                        Text="View2"> 

                    "EditHyperLink" runat="server"
                        NavigateUrl='<%# table.GetActionPath(PageAction.Edit, GetDataItem()) %>'
						Text="Edit"> 
                    
                    "DeleteLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="Delete"
                        CausesValidation="false" Text="Delete"
                        OnClientClick='return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?");'
                   > 
                    
                    "DetailsHyperLink" runat="server"
                        NavigateUrl='<%# table.GetActionPath(PageAction.Details, GetDataItem()) %>'
                        Text="Details">
                

Thanks,

Sorry for the poor formatting of the code. I keep struggling to figure out how to get a well formatted message displayed on this site. 
Even when I use the "Source Code" option the white space is always out of whack.
