 I want to display miltiple fields in one custom FieldTemplateUserControl. For example i have property X and Y. Currently they show on separate row when i edit or insert.
Do i need to create new property to return anonymous class with just this 2 property and in custom control,read values.What about inserting? Anyone done it?

Thanks

As a quick idea this is what I would do: 

[MetadataType(typeof(EmployeeMetadata))]
public partial class Employee : INotifyPropertyChanging, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
	[ScaffoldColumn(true)]
	[UIHint("Point")]
	public String Point
	{
		get
		{
			return new Point(this.x, this.y);
		}
	}

	public class EmployeeMetadata
	{
		[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
		public object x { get; set; }
		[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
		public object y { get; set; }
	}
}

And then have point class and a Point FieldTemplate for both display and edit/insert.
