ASP.NET Dynamic Data is a framework for creating Data-Driven (CRUD) Applications quickly and easily. It is included with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and is built on top of the existing ASP.NET framework. It utilizes the power of new 3.5 framework features (LINQ, ORMs, URL Routing) to Dynamically create an entire website based off a Domain Model and Metadata. Dynamic Data is not code generation; the generated site is easily customizable, and parts of the Dynamic Data framework can be integrated into existing websites.
This will be a three part presentation. First, we’ll cover the basics of creating a Dynamic Data website. We’ll build an entire site from scratch using Microsoft’s Northwind database. Second, we’ll dig into the Framework to see how all this functionality is possible. We’ll cover the DynamicField control and FieldTemplates. And third, we’ll look at the Dynamic Data Futures project on CodePlex to see what’s in store for Dynamic Data 2.0.
