I love the video player!  Looks great.  But why the hell doesn't it fullscreen in FireFox when it works beautifully in IE?

Hey Scott

What screen capturing software are you using to record these demo's?  I love the way the screen zooms in and out.

Nice work!

For some reason when I uncomment the mode.RegisterContext and change the line it doesn't find the Context I created. Any ideas?

shanselman : On May 15, 2008 3:53 PM said:

Thanks! I'm not sure why it doesn't work in Firefox. I'll ask.

I'm using Camtasia for the recording and editing of these.

ASPNERD: Make sure your namespaces line up. You may need to add a using statement.

nice article, how to get the Dynamic Data solution template?

Had installed framework 3.5 SP1 beta, what else do you need to test this new features. Thanks.

shanselman : On June 09, 2008 2:24 PM said:

Punprom, you can use the project templates that ship with SP1, or you can download the newer templates and DLLS at code.msdn.microsoft.com/dynamicdata

This is very interesting tecnology , but what about MVC , Is it possible to see the releation ship between the two (MVC and Dynamic Data)

The best part of these videos is that they work in a format other than WMV. It's nice to be able to take a walk in the middle of the day, listen to a Hanselminutes or DotNetRocks podcast and then watch a learning video on a topic that was mentioned.

Seriously, all the other ASP.NET/learn videos and Silverlight.NET/learn videos don't work correctly in the iPod or MP4 formats -- most of them have video tracks that run significantly ahead of the audio and the rest are too grainy to be readable. MS knows about it. In one of the forums back in March, Terri Morton even said "The iPod problem is being addressed.  Someone is working to convert them one by one and eventually he will have the work completed."

Mark Miller said "MS is changing. It's getting better with user experience", at least that's what I heard him say at a conference. But then I go to the downloads portion of MSDN. You need surgeon's hands to use the navigation menus. And then I'm frustrated by the learn videos, which, except in the case of rebel Scott, only work correctly in the MS format.

"Microsoft is changing when it comes to UI"? Yeah, right.

Sorry for the rant. Keep up the good work, Scott. And keep making those videos that are also compatible with non-MS formats, though I suspect that you're breaking some sort of company rule and will get stern talking to when Ballmer finds out.

thank you so much!

CabreraB : On August 10, 2008 6:22 PM said:

Hello Scott,

I've noticed that the sample code is always available for other ASP.NET videos throughout the site, however, it's not available for MVC videos.

Is there a reason why?

Thanks

Hi,

I notice that in the DB table u have something like ProductID, SupplierID

But in the dynamic data site, I didn't see the display of IDs, how did u do that?

Thx a lot

netninja : On August 14, 2008 4:47 PM said:

I have all of the latest updates (SP1, 3.5 extensions, etc) and noticed something interesting. I tried to replicate this tutorial and noticed that instead of generating a global.asax file, the dynamic data properties are located in the web.config file under a <dynamicData> tag. Has anyone noticed this change? If so, is there any documentation on this?

Hi everyone and Scott,

first of all thankx a lot for such a nice tutorials.

Second, need your help to install dynamic data template. I have downloaded the template but unable to install it. I have VS express 2008, but can not find VS command prompt to run install.cmd

Is there any other way I can install it, or dont know whether express 2008 ships with VS command prompt or not.

Please help/advice.

Thank you

Tausif

Cool!

Great presentation Scott!

This is what I have been waiting for! Code generation.

Is there any way of showing how to applying user roles at the page level and control level via Dynamic Data?

Thanks

Shane

Forget about the video tool and the editing capabilities.

The Dynamic Data stuff is TERRIFIC!!!

jpete17 : On August 26, 2008 12:42 PM said:

awesome tutorial. you are very comprehensive concerning all subjects you address and as i new developer i appreciate that.

nyc2awp : On August 30, 2008 2:06 PM said:

Very cool,

So as soon as create relationships with my data model I should get the same results?

Alan_ITG : On September 03, 2008 5:08 AM said:

Hi Scott,  a great series on Dynamic Data!

One question, in the first video on scaffolding an application for Dynamic Data you mention a setting for scaffolding all tables in a Db. How do you scaffold only some tables in a Db i.e. not scaffolding Audit tables for example?

Thanks, Alan_itg

rtpharry : On September 03, 2008 3:25 PM said:

Awemsome intro!

Alan_ITG : On September 04, 2008 3:37 AM said:

Thanks.

Nice job Scott. I am new to web development and was wondering if you could point me to a page of a roadmap on how to become one. I was wondering if I should start with HTML and CSS or just getting into asp.net is enough. After asp.net where should I go. Your help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Ondas
