ASP.NET Futures (2007): DynamicNavigator Control

This section provides information about the following:

  • DynamicNavigator control. This control is one of a set of dynamic data controls that obtain schema information at run time, provide default display formats according to common user expectations, and enable you to easily customize those formats.

The DynamicNavigator control displays a list of all the tables and views that are currently accessible through dynamic data controls.

<asp:DynamicNavigator runat="server" ID="Navigator" />

By default, only tables and views whose name matches the page file name are listed. All tables and views are listed if the showAllTables attribute is set to true in the <dynamicDataControls> section of the Web.config file.

This control has the following properties:

  • ControlID. Specifies the name of a Menu control. The DynamicNavigator control uses the specified control to display links to pages containing tables or views instead of creating a Menu control with default settings. This enables you to customize the appearance of the DynamicNavigator control.
  • IncludeTables. If true, the DynamicNavigator control lists tables. Otherwise they are not included, even if you have defined pages for them. The default is true.
  • IncludeViews. If true, the DynamicNavigator control lists views. Otherwise they are not included, even if you have defined pages for them. The default is true.
