Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Im playing with DD Linq-to-SQL and started thinking of having a "recent 10 DVDs in my collection" list in the Default.apsx

What is the easiest way to do this?

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

That all depends on how you are determining which the most recent DVD [:D] if you are using a date field then you could look at implementing a top ten filter in dd Preview 4 or DDv2 in VS2010 Beta 2.

There is not much that will enable you to do this (if I am understanding what you want) in DDv1.

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

I see. Im currently not using DDv2. Thanks for the help.

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

There is antoher way if you are using Linq to SQL then Josh Heyes' Dynamic Data filtering on codeplex here:http://dynamicdatafiltering.codeplex.com/ may help, as this implements something alin to the new stuff but only for L2S though [:D] see my article here for installation: http://csharpbits.notaclue.net/2009/01/dynamic-data-filtering-installation.html

Hope this helps [:D]

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Wow! That looks awesome. But I have one question for now. I have my site on a local server here, and im creating this site on my desktop computer. After I have published the project, do the

<div>Dynamic Data Filtering 1.10 have to be installed on the server to make this work?</div><div>
</div><div>Thanks
</div>

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

When you add the a control via the toolbox the references are all added so no need to install on server [:D]

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Just tried it and it works But I got a question. Do I have to make a partial classfile for all tables I have now, or is it possible to just enable this to one or two tables if I Create custom sites?

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

no you can create them pice meal just add each class as you need it [:D] so it you only need to add filters to one talbe then only add metadata for that table [:D]

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Im playing with Northwind and I got one more. Now I have created Order_Details.cs in my App_Code folder. No Filters is showing up. Orders.cs works perfect and I cant understand what im doing wrong here

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel;
using Catalyst.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

[MetadataType(typeof(Order_DetailsMD))]
public partial class Order_Details
{
    public class Order_DetailsMD
    {
        public object OrderID { get; set; }
        public object ProductID { get; set; }
        public object UnitPrice { get; set; }
        public object Quantity { get; set; }
        public object Discount { get; set; }
    }
}

Any help?

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Try:

using Catalyst.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
[MetadataType(typeof(Order_DetailsMD))]
public partial class Order_Details
{
    public class Order_DetailsMD
    {
        public object OrderID { get; set; }
        public object ProductID { get; set; }
        public object UnitPrice { get; set; }
        [Filter(FilterMode = FilterControlMode.Contains)]
        public object Quantity { get; set; }
        public object Discount { get; set; }
    }
}

Hope this helps...

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Nothing happens. I tried creating a new WebSite and created partial classes for Employees and Products. It's just Order that really works

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Did you setup through my article here: http://csharpbits.notaclue.net/2009/01/dynamic-data-filtering-installation.html

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Yes, I did. But when it works for Order, but not Products, Order_Details or Employees I would believe it's something with my partial class-files. Still I can't see anything wrong with the one i pasted code for here

kisyv
I would believe it's something with my partial class-files

This is usually the case [:(]

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Is it possible that you could add other partial class files at your blog entry, if you got any? I still havent fingured out what it could be, and I would like to see if you have any partial class files for other tables that I could try

It's a bit frustrating that I can't get this to work

Re: Modify Default.aspx to list recent changes

Sorry Kisyv, I'm not sure what you want, what I woudl do is get DDFiltering working with a test project first say AdventurewWorks DB and try some of Joshes sample until you get to know it. [:D]
