Using Dynamic Data Web application as a Sub Project

Question

User-1312304163 posted

Hi:

 I want to add a Dynamic Data Web Application as a Sub Project to an exsiting normal Web Application.

The structure like this:

The main application contains the web.config and resource, themes is WebAppMain

The Dynamic Data Web Applicaiton as Sub Project is WebAppSub

The WebAppSub locates at WebAppMain\UIS\WebAppSub

So the DynamicData folder locates at WebAppMain\UIS\WebAppSub\DynamicData\FiledTemplates\

I resiter the route at global.asax like:

routes.Add(new DynamicDataRoute("UIS/WebAppSub/{table}/ListDetails.aspx")

{

Action = PageAction.List,ViewName = "ListDetails",

Model = modelCodeAdmin,

RouteHandler = new DynamicDataRouteHandler()

{

RootFolderVirtualPath = "~/UIS/WebAppSub/DynamicData/"

}

});

other settings are fine, the WebAppSub will output its dll to the WebAppMain's Bin folder and Model located at WebAppMain, the default pages is working and Model registered correclty. the only problem is, when  the provider creates the template control,

the DynamicData.FieldTemplateFactory.GetFieldTemplateVirtualPathWithCaching can't get the correct directory, it throw a exception:

The field template folder '~/DynamicData/FieldTemplates/' does not exist

Can't find any Class that allow me to  set the FileTemplate's Virtual Path, I know I can create a DynamicData/FieldTemplates at WebAppMain project.

but I think if I can use sub project's FileTemplates. It will give me more flexiblity. Is any one any opinion about it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi balancedu,

I don't think you want to change the routes.Add(new DynamicDataRoute("UIS/WebAppSub/{table}/ListDetails.aspx")

I've written a topic How To: Change the Dynamic Data Folder Location that shows how to do this. Let me know if you have any questions on the How To article.

Indeed, what Rick points you to should work.  When using routing, it's important to understand the difference between:

1. What your URL's look like, which is driven by routing
2. Where your physical files are located

The page Rick points you to will let you change #2, though it's conceivable that you want to change both.  But they are distinct things.

I find the answer, in the global.asax:

I put this two line codes:

// Setup the FieldTemplates Virtual Path

FieldTemplateFactory Factory = (FieldTemplateFactory)modelWebSub.FieldTemplateFactory;

Factory.TemplateFolderVirtualPath = "~/UIS/UIWebSub/DynamicData/FieldTemplates";

Hi: ricka6

I have read your article, I am using the .Net 3.5, it seems the

model.DynamicDataFolderVirtualPath property doesn't in the dll I am using:

MetaModel modelCodeAdmin = new MetaModel();modelCodeAdmin.RegisterContext(typeof(EntitiesCode), new ContextConfiguration() { ScaffoldAllTables = true });

 

// Setup the FieldTemplates Virtual Path

modelCodeAdmin.DynamicDataFolderVirtualPath = "~/UIS/UICodeAdmin/DynamicData/FieldTemplates";

What's wrong with my code?

I am using the

<add assembly="System.Web.DynamicData, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

I think the problem is you need  .NET 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1
