How Do I Make Custom Pages?

I need source code examples. Thanks!

All the source and examples are up here: code.msdn.microsoft.com/.../ProjectReleases.aspx

These videos are very informative.

What I spent one month developing with other technologies I  was able to do in 2 hrs using these examples.

One thing I have not been able to do or understand how to do is how can I display the tables in different pages? Basically, I want a main page and that page has links to say "show me products" and another "show me orders". On clicking "show me products" link I see only products, I do not see the other tables in the DB.

When I try dragging a copy of the list.aspx file to a custom folder in the "CustomPages" folder, it just moves the existing copy into that folder.  Is there a setting I need to change in order to change this behavior?

Thanks!

Hi Scott

Wheer is the best place to keep up to date with Dynamic Data - there seems to be a fair amount of releases - I was working through your videos and notice a few difference (copying a page to the custompages folder broke) - where is the best place to keep up to date with this?

Hi Scott,

I was following your example, and although the drag to folder did not work, I simply copied and pasted the page into my new folder. What I would like to know is am I missing something. I am receiving compiler errors that states "Type 'Project' already defines a member called 'Page_Init' with the same parameter types" and the same error for other standard methods as well. Do I need to rename anything?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the demos. They are great. This one might need some tweaking.

ListDetails.aspx copy and paste works (compiles and runs fine) until I change “CustomPages\Products ListDetails.aspx”. This change breaks the page and the error bellow is thrown. I can see the ListDetails.aspx and cs copied in DynamicDataWebSite1\DynamicData\CustomPages\Products. Restarting “Development server” or clearing ASP.NET temp cache doesn’t help but “CustomPages\Products ListDetails.aspx” deletion removes the error.

Server Error in '/DynamicDataWebSite1' Application.

In the video you modify ListDetails.aspx rather than List.aspx. What is the difference between these two?

Also, do I change "Autogeneratecolumns" or "AutogenerateRows" to false, or both?

Um, there is no Autogeneraterows - it was apparently just a slip of your tongue.

This is definetly something I will use in my next project. The amount of stuff that you get for free is awesome. Having the sort columns, advanced paging and number per page for free is very cool

Thanks! Jërëjëf!

Hi,

For some of my Dynamic Data meta data tables I would like to control the order of the displayed columns.

I have a custom page and I created a sub-directory named the same as my table.  I copied the ListDetails.aspx and code file to the new directory.

And changed  AutoGenerateColumns to false(in Gridview) and AutoGenerateRows to false(DetailsView. None of them worked! Please please help me. J

Best regards,

Sahar
