Hi Lener, I am working on a new version of the ChildrenList as I've now called it :) for .Net 3.5 and .Net 4 and Linq to SQL and Entity Framework. I will do a new article when work schedule allows.

I'm not sure of the reason why the DynamicDataManager is of no use here. BTW the DynamicDataManager does not contain the nested controls the GridViews/DetailsViews/FormViews do, they are just wrapped in field templates and DynamicControls.

Steve :)

Hi,
Thanks for all the publishing on DynamicData. Appreciate it.

When is the new child gridview article coming? Waiting for it!

I still have at least one problem with this approach, the ValidationException(s) are not caught somehow (for db errors) and the "yellow screen of death" as you intimately call it, is still disturbing me!

You tell in this article that we can't rely on the DynamicDataManager, why not? Why is it not as simple as putting another, nested, dynamicDataManager and BOUM! It should be! Or why is it not possible to reference nested controls in the "root" dynamicDataManager.
If only I could tweak it...

A bit frustrating!

2010-10-14T18:56:56.187+01:00

Instead of:
[code]
GridDataSource.ContextTypeName = metaChildColumn.ChildTable.DataContextType.Name;
[/code]
you should use:
[code]
GridDataSource.ContextTypeName = metaChildColumn.ChildTable.DataContextType.FullName;
[/code]
And in C# 4 instead of :
[code]
if (!attribute.EnableDelete)
EnableDelete = false;
if (!attribute.EnableUpdate)
EnableUpdate = false;
[/code]

you should use:
[code]
EnableDelete = attribute.EnableDelete;
EnableUpdate = attribute.EnableUpdate;
[/code]

No offence, but the above is almost impossible to read, what with all the edits, deletes, etc.

As someone who manages people and code, I would never post anything like this w/o a downloadable file or set of files. What's the point of trying to read betwixt all the early mistakes you made? I see none, and irregardless, a clean solution would be many times more valuable than reading how a flawed design gets worked on.

2009-02-12T19:09:00.000Z

I'm interested in using a gridview in place of a dropdownlist for a foreign key field. The reason being is two-fold: the parent table has too many rows for the dropdownlist control as far as performance is concerned, and selection of the parent row would be made easier with the ability to see other column data and the use of filters.

From Maine, USA

Sadly I've moved to more over IT Management from the strict programming and design side, but DynamicData is allowing me easily work through some things I ordinarily wouldn't have had the time to pull off. It was missing a few things but the gridview article, security, and the dynamic filters are helping close the gaps.

Thanks for all the great information. The grid view sample helps expose even more of the capabilities of Dynamic Data and your work with the security model is right where a lot of people are thinking.

Keep up the excellent work!
