A few months ago at the Triangle .NET Users Group meeting, Brad Abrams of Microsoft presented some new features releasing with the 3.5 .NET framework SP1. One that caught my eye was Dynamic Data. Brad was able to create a complete CRUD web application in just a few minutes with no writing of code. When I saw this, I was thinking how great it would be if we at FarPoint could configure our Spread control to work with this new technology. I passed this along to the product manager and development team for Spread for ASP.NET and they worked on researching what was needed in our product to enable this functionality.
After a few weeks, we had something they were ready to show me, and it looked great. I have now created a video showing how to replace the standard GridView control with our Spread control in a Dynamic Data website. Take a look and tell us what you think. If you have any comments or questions about this, feel free to email me.
