ASP.NET Dynamic Data Screencast Showing RAD Development with ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview
Blog: David Hayden ( Florida ASP.NET Developer ), Filed: ASP.NET 3.5
One of the cool new features in the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview is ASP.NET Dynamic Data:
“ASP.NET Dynamic Data helps developers build a fully customizable, data-driven app quickly. It provides a rich scaffolding framework that allows rapid data driven development without writing code, yet it is easily extendible using the traditional ASP.NET programming model.”
The scaffolding framework provides built-in templates and support for LINQ To SQL that provides CRUD functionality against your tables in a SQL Server Database without writing any code. What is especially nice about ASP.NET Dynamic Data, however, is that you have a lot of flexibility around customizing the built-in templates for the pages and individual fields used to render that information.
The best way to appreciate ASP.NET Dynamic Data is to watch this screencast that shows you creating an ASP.NET Dynamic Data Project from scratch.
Cool stuff if you are developing data driven websites.
