Hello all, I'd like to add some dynamic data functionalities in my ASP.NET 4.0 web application, so I added a New Item -> Dynamic Data Field, and I obtain the folder Field Templates -> DynamicDataField1.ascx and DynamicDataField1_Edit.ascx
Now how can I start?
Has anyone a tutorial link from whom I can learn something?
Hi Luigi, you need at least a strongly typed class top even use Simple DD (GridView.EnableDynamicData()) David Ebbo Has a sample of using the Object Data source in the old futures project here
Dynamic Data Futures VS2008 SP1 RTMand some samples for using other data sources here
Dynamic Data 4.0 Samples
See my blog C# Bits | Twitter @sjnaughton Always seeking an elegant solution.
But what about all the other old pages transported into this? Will all they behave the same? What about your old code? Will it be discarded or substituted? What's the advantage of doing this if that were possible at all? What's the idea of merging two different
development environments? Isn't taht counter prodcuctive? What do you win doing this? Isn't it risky? What code prevails old or new? This idea looks nuts for beginners

On your GridView DetailsView or FormView use the Extension Methode
you should be good, you wont get ForeignKey field though you need to add full DD to your dite for that and register the model.

only if you want ForeignKey relationships, what data model are you using?

I have no Data Model until now, just plain ADO.NET (DataTable, DataReader and so on).
