ASP.NET Dynamic Data

I went to Tech-ed again today and attended the ASP.NET Dynamic Data session. ASP.NET Dynamic Data is a framework enables you to build rich data-driven Web applications. It could connect to the Linq to SQL or Entities Data source to retrieve the data, generate the webpages which allows to list, add, update and delete the data. The most powerful things of this framework is to provide the validation, security function in the underlying classes and allows user to customize the layout to suit their needs. This customization also provides the flexibility to allow the developer to using the third party tools.

It is a great tools to build something quick for data entry such as the maintenance functions. However, from my opinion, I think we still couldn't build an enterprise solution with this tool because it lack of the flexibility to build some business logic which need to interact with different classes or workflow solutions. Actually, it is similar to an Access web-based version.

Under Homebloc, I decided to use this technology to build a simple feedback listing and updating web application for our internal use. It is very convenience and easy to build such application without much coding. Now, our colleagues could view all your valuable feedbacks through this application.
