Some useful links regarding Routing:

Hi Steve,
Just a question, it seems like you are the foremost expert on dynamic data as I have run across your blog many times. Your solutions are just wonderful!
I am using Dynamic Data 3.5 with Entities
My questions is...
I want to create a new PageTempalte called
MyList.aspx
that a few of my entity tables will use for the list action as opposed to the List.aspx page that is already there. The remaining entity tables will continue to use the List.aspx page.
I know I can create a subfolder for each of my entities in CustomPages and create a copy of List.aspx under each one. But this will cause me to maintain multiple custom List.aspx pages when really all I need is one.
I was thinking I could alter the ListActionPath liek this:
// remove tables from the list if DenyRead
foreach (var table in MetaModel.Default.Tables)
{
if(table.TableName="MyTableExample")
{
table.ListActionPath="MyList";
}
Then create a route. But this does not work.
Can you offer any suggestions?
You should use a route like:
routes.Add(new DynamicDataRoute("{table}/{action}.aspx")
{
Constraints = new RouteValueDictionary(new { action = "List" }),
Table = "Table1|Table2|Table3",
Model = model
});
This will do the trick.
Steve
