Converting standard ASP.NET app built to use dynamic data features

Question

User320031091 posted

I can''t find any good documentation on this so far ( although perhaps it's there I just haven't seen it :)

 I have a standard ASP.NET application which uses menus to display a selection of entities in the data model ( not all ).  How should I best convert this to use dynamic data to present the entities.  The standard dynamic data project simply shows all the entities in a list however I'd like to link to only a few and use an ASP.NET menu control. Perhaps also controlling whether the user can see the entities based on their security permissions

You might look at How To: Adding Dynamic Data to an Existing Web Site

You can hide or show tables with  see ASP.NET Dynamic Data Scaffolding and Page Templates Overview

You should be able to convert default.aspx from a table  a menu.  For security, I think Stephen has something on his site. http://csharpbits.notaclue.net/2008_06_01_archive.html 

Hope this gets you started<!---->
