http://weblogs.asp.net/andrewrea/archive/2009/03/25/asp-net-dynamic-data-using-column-generators-based-on-meta-data.aspxI was looking at the generated site which ASP.NET Dynamic Data had provided and thought, I wonder how I can choose which columns I want to display based on the model itself.&#160; This is then dynamic, in the way that for one model I show one column,enCommunityServer 2007 SP1 (Build: 20510.895)http://weblogs.asp.net/andrewrea/archive/2009/03/25/asp-net-dynamic-data-using-column-generators-based-on-meta-data.aspx#7153019Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:50:26 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:7153019REA_ANDREWREA_ANDREW<p>No worries. &nbsp;I had the same feeling to be honest, but when you dive in, you can leverage the power of meta data to do some really time saving things</p> <img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7153019" width="1" height="1">http://weblogs.asp.net/andrewrea/archive/2009/03/25/asp-net-dynamic-data-using-column-generators-based-on-meta-data.aspx#7153002Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:31:45 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:7153002rrkaushikrrkaushik<p>Andrew:</p> <p>Thanks for the sample - very ingenious! Intuitively it seems that a RAD code generator like dynamic data should have a slicker way to bind to metadata than having to write so much code. Maybe I'm just lazy..:-) Even a simple customization like changing the order of tables displayed in the default page seems to be hard requiring either custom metadata or custom pages/templates. Oh well - version 2 I guess... Thanks again for posting this...</p> <img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7153002" width="1" height="1">
