ASP.NET Dynamic Data Custom Form Formatting

Joe...good stuff...can we get a video showing how to access specific records from a database for the Logged In User that uses the ASP.NET Membership Provider?

Joe

Can we see how to proceed when we have a change in our database? I mean if a new field is added what's the correct process to apply the change to LINQ?

Regards

Two very good points already included.

My comment is more releated to the

.NET Framework 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit update for SP1

The first DD lab contains this line:

7. Apply the DisplayName attribute to the ProductNumber property. To do this, add the following code above the property definition.

[DisplayName(”Code”)]

private object ProductNumber { get; set; }

Unfortunately, DisplayName is not a viable attribute. It seems as this didn’t make it into the official sp1 release. It is sorely needed however, as everyone often has to give a column a “friendly name” instead of the straight-up database column name.

Can a future video show what can be used instead?

Thanks!

I posted my issue to the forum and received a very prompt response. Sorry for littering on your video page.

I would also like to see the process when your database changes. I have tables that have multiple foreign keys that point to the same table (used for a pull down – IE LensFront and LensBack both point to the Lens table). When you drop the DB schema into VS, it creates name like lens1 and lens2 instead of LensFront and LensBack (obviously, it wouldn’t know how to name them). My problem is, every time the DB schema changes, I have to go back and change the names. I would think VS should be smart enough to determine that only an column was added, so it will keep the foreign key names. Not sure if you follow or not.

In any case, great videos! I have learned a lot.

Thanks
