[dba-VB] Dynamic Data Entities Web Applications

Hi Charlotte --

Thank you for your information.

As I noted I currently do not plan to use dynamic data entities web
applications in production but only to verify the data model design, to give
to customers/users "working model" of some of their business areas, to
prepare lookup/sample/test data: I found it very useful -  I have just
developed rather complicated data model for my customer project, clicked
several times my mouse, made a few selections, typed a few chars - and
voila' I can enter data, navigate all tables etc.

Would that be possible to get known from your project manager what are the
causes of their warnings about dynamic data entities? - I think that would
be very useful for everybody here to know about their experience to not
"step on rakes" as we say here.

BTW, customization features provided by dynamic data entities web
applications are also rather useful to implement something like "working,
real life environment simulating specification": I have got only glanced
those customization features and I have found they can be used at least to:

- develop/simulate/test some kinds of (simple) business rules/checks used
during data entry/edit;
- develop almost ready to use in ASP.NET production environment ASP.NET
custom controls.

There should be more useful features I'm quite sure.

And once again what is very important is that you can give "working model"
for your customers/users almost immediately after/during the talks with
them, they can play with it, they can get "instant fixes" for it etc. I have
checked and AFAIS ADO.NET Entity Data Model can be quickly regenerated
within VS2008 when source DB changes, and such regeneration preserves custom
edits of ADO.NET Entity Data Model objects. Good stuff. Only positive
experience so far.

Thank you.

Our project manager warned us about dynamic data entities and the MS
entity model.  No personal experience and he isn't a developer, so he's
talking about his previous job.

Hi Gustav,

VS2008 SP1: 

1. Solution: Add: New Project -> Dynamic Data Entities Web
Application...
2. Project: Add: New Item -> ADO.NET Entity Data Model

The next steps are rather obvious, and Global.asax's comments give the
clue how to make the application to work.

But I can't get some more information on this type of projects. Yes, I
can investigate them but I'd prefer to have some ready to use
descriptions. 

Can't find them online on MSDN....

I have just got this link, which looks interesting:

It's a 1+ hour video...

Thank you.

Hi All,

I'm currently working on a project where I use Dynamic Data Entities Web
Applications - DDEWA-(VS2008 SP1).

I have tried to search Google and Bing to find some information on DDEWA
but failed.

Do you have any useful links on DDEWA?

Thank you.
