Adding Dynamic Behavior to Data Controls

Introduction

ASP.NET Dynamic Data enables you to add dynamic behavior to data controls. This lets you do the following:

• Move data validation from the presentation layer to the data layer.

• Eliminate boilerplate code from Web application pages.

ASP.NET Dynamic Data provides a set of data controls that support dynamic behavior. It also uses a set of classes (a database model) to interact with the underlying database. ASP.NET Dynamic Data dynamically determines how to render controls based on the data types of database fields.
