ASP.NET Dynamic Data
open-in-new
<p>ASP.NET Dynamic Data is a <a href="/facts/Ruby_on_Rails/aG5P6uon">Ruby on Rails</a>-inspired <a href="/facts/Web_application/BLkF3BIN">web application</a> <a href="/facts/Scaffold_(programming)/8I46SxrC">scaffolding</a> framework from <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>, shipped as an extension to <a href="/facts/ASP.NET/xq7KM8mN">ASP.NET</a>, that can be used to build data-driven web applications. It exposes tables in a <a href="/facts/Database/VYcpkevb">database</a> by encoding it in the <a href="/facts/URI/UjyqxTpA">URI</a> of the <a href="/facts/ASP.NET/xq7KM8mN">ASP.NET</a> web service, and the data in the table is automatically rendered to <a href="/facts/HTML/sSc3fT78">HTML</a>. The process of rendering can be controlled using custom design <a href="/facts/Template_processor/tGaGYPh3">templates</a>. Internally, it discovers the <a href="/facts/Database_schema/DBq8fooY">database schema</a> by using the database <a href="/facts/Metadata/qt35z79C">metadata</a>. </p><p>ASP.NET Dynamic Data was originally shipped as part of the "ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions" package in 2007, and was incorporated into the <a href="/facts/.NET_Framework/J6QDAUhP">.NET Framework</a> 3.5 Service Pack 1, which was released August 11, 2008. </p>
