The Dynamic Data
controls
use the metadata information to automatically load and
display appropriate templates.
DynamicControl
can be used with the
FormView
and
ListView
controls to load an appropriate field template.
DynamicField
serves a similar
purpose; however, it is designed for use with the
GridView
and
DetailsView
controls. The
DynamicEntity
control automatically loads an appropriate entity template, and the
DynamicFilter
control automatically loads an appropriate filter template. Although these
controls are used extensively in the Dynamic Data templates, developers can use them in
regular pages and controls of WebForms applications as well.
This chapter has barely scratched the surface of the functionality offered by the ASP.NET
Dynamic Data. The remaining chapters of Part I offer a closer look at each of these areas.
