1. Marc Ziss Z Consulting marc@zconsulting.com

2. Code Name 'Oryx' Web application scaffolding Easy to dynamically display pages based on the data model of the underlying database Easy to edit data for admin apps Helps in prototyping systems quickly Out of the box simple to use or can be very customized

3. Uses LINQ to SQL to build a Data model. Uses DynamicData Controls to build editable screens. Builds in Paging, Sorting, Filtering, and Validation automatically. Dynamic Data fields for rendering individual data types. Allows a great deal of customization.

5. ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP (http://www.asp.net/Downloads/3.5-extensions)http://www.asp.net/Downloads/3.5-extensions Visual Studio 2008

6. Subsonic (free) Django (free but Python) ASP Runner Iron Speed Designer

7. ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP has a lot in it ASP.NET Dynamic Data ADO.NET Data Services (formerly codename Astoria) ASP.NET Model View Controller Applications ASP.NET AJAX Managing Browser History Using Server Controls ASP.NET Silverlight contols ADO.NET Entity Framework

8. ListTemplate.aspx - Grid to edit inline or call from a link to a detail page. DetailsTemplate.aspx – Edit one record on a page. ListDetailsTemplate – Both a grid and an a detail editor (default). Same Routing engine as MVC.

10. DynamicGridView DynamicDetailsView DynamicFormView DynamicListView

11. DynamicField - Automatically knows what mode Dynamic view is in (Edit, Item, Insert) for use with DynamicGridView DynamicDetailsView DynamicControl, DynamicEditControl, and DynamicInsertControl – Dynamic fields to be used with templated view controls Template columns in a DynamicGridView DynamicFormView DynamicListView

12. Customizations as easy as making a new partial class. Allows unique behavior for a particular table

13. DisplayFormat - formats for currency, dates, etc… DisplayColumn – Allows a text column other than the 2nd column in the fk to describe the ID

15. [Range("UnitsInStock",10,50, ErrorMessage="Must be between {1} and {2}")] [Required("ContactName", ErrorMessage = "Contact name is required.")] [Regex(“ssn", "[0-9][a-z][0-9]", ErrorMessage = "Needs to be formatted as 'number letter number'")]

17. LINQ to SQL classes are generated with hooks for events that are normally not implemented Lightweight event notification New feature new to.NET 3.5 called partial methods Like partial classes, but used to extend methods that may or may not be implemented in class instance (can be seen in Northwind.designer.cs)

19. By default Dynamic Data Fields try to match the rendering of a control with one of the built in Control Templates: Boolean.ascx Boolean_Edit.ascx DateTime.ascx DateTime_Edit.ascx Integer_Edit.ascx Decimal_Edit.ascx Many More

20. Simple.ascx files When code is modified all controls behavior will be affected globally. Can perform global validation here as well Example Calendar

22. [RenderHint] enables you to build a custom control that can be explicitly linked to a field. Simple as validation Because it is a user control there can be multiple controls that can speak to each other. Can use Ajax Toolkit to use helpful extenders right out of the box Customized controls work regardless of which view is beieng used (i.e. DynamicGridView, DynamicListView, etc…)

24. Don’t have to work with a Page Template we can build stand alone pages that use dynamic data Requires a little more work. Need to make some manual changes…for now

25. Newest template based control has dynamic counterpart. Has the benefits of a GridView, but allows full control of rendering. Interesting wizards to help setup the template in interesting ways.
