Readme File for DynamicDataWebApp.sln and DynamicDataWebSite.sln

Update: 8/18/2008: The DynamicDataWebApp project has been updated with a reference to the modified Microsoft.Web.DynamicData.dll, which replaces System.Web.DynamicData.dll when using EntityFramework and Global.asax's RegisterContext() method has been updated.

For more information about the issue with the use of Entity Framework as an ASP.NET Dynamic Data data source, see http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/serious-fail-of-aspnet-dynamic-data-sp1.html.

1. The projects unzip into \DynamicDataWebApp and \DynamicDataWebSite folders with .sln files

2. If you don't have the release version of VS 2008 SP1, you must download and install the latest version of the Dynamic Data runtime and Templates from http://www.codeplex.com/aspnet/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=14474, which is a later version than was included in VS 2008 SP1. You must also have V@ 2008 SP1 Beta 1 or later installed.

3. Both projects require the Northwind sample database attached to a local instance of SQL Server [Express].

4. To build and run the projects, open either .sln file in the appropriate folder and press F5.

Enjoy
