Build RAD websites based on XML data and XSD file

Question

User1484423486 posted

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to build RAD websites based on XML data and XSD schema as opposed to connecting to a SQL database.  I tried creating LINQtoXSD but was unable to connect the LINQtoXSD with the Dynamic Data context.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Ramya, have a look at the Dynamic Data Futures project here: DynamicDataFutures0716.zip  which has some other provider examples.

Hope this helps [:D]

 Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for your response. The examples  in DynamicDataFutures use Northwind.mdf file to create the DataContext. In my case the XML file will hold all the data and XSD file for the schema or DataModel. Can you please be more specific to which example in the DynamicDataFutures I need to look into as I couldnot identify. Sorry abt that.

Ramya,

Have a look at the System.Web.DynamicData.ModelProviders namespace. You will basically have to write your implementations for the 4 classes in that namespace and call the right MetaModel.RegisterContext overload.

If you examin the example more closely you will see that there are also some examples of other providers e.g. POCO (Plain Ordinary CLR Objects) and  ADO.Net Data Services.
