My blog is not an official .Net blog, but I find myself writing a lot of C# & VB.Net code over the last weeks.
I remember myself working
a lot with ObjectDataSource and DataGrid/DataView/Repeater controls in order to reflect the user what is going on in my DB. The recent changes in the .Net world reflect the major demand from the developers to help us making this easier. First, we were introduced to LINQ which is the first level. Now, I believe that the ASP.Net Dynamic Data is the second level which brings it all together to the web environment.
We are all busy men and we often don't have much time to persue after all the new .Net frameworks and developments. My only way to stay tuned to what's going on is blogs, so I read when I have time. But when I want to learn it in more intimate way I watch screencasts.
I recommend all of you viewing the
17-minutes-cast from
David Ebbo about Dynamic Data. It will show you what it's all about and after it you'll even be able to create it for yourself. I hope that this is the end of writing junk code in order to connect your DB to your UI. Time will say if I'm right.
