Future of Dynamic Data

Question

Hello, i just tried used the ASP.Net Dynamic Data templates on the AdventureWorks database and it created most if not all of the CRUD screens in a matter of secconds, so i'm wondering why i'm not seeing a lot of ongoing interest and activity for this approach?

ASP.NET Dynamic Data was a bit of a guinea pig. It's where routing and scaffolding were first introduced into ASP.NET along with Linq to SQL (the forerunner for Entity Framework). Those concepts now form a major part of the MVC development experience, which is what people mostly use for new development these days. Dynamic Data hasn't received any updates for years.

Thanks for the update on this Mike, so i would assume that there is a more advanced tooling now available that will automatically create one's CRUD screens based on the a database's schema, is that the case?

Are you referring to MVC? If so, yes, you can choose to scaffold views to generate CRUD screens based on a model.
