asp.net Dynamic Data Site with own MetaData
- by loviji
Hello,
I'm searching info about configuring own MetaData in asp.NET Dynamic Site.
For example. I have a table in MS Sql Server with structure shown below:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[someTable](
[id] [int] NOT NULL,
[pname] [nvarchar](20) NULL,
[FullName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[age] [int] NULL)
and I there are 2 Ms Sql tables (I've created), sysTables and sysColumns.
sysTables:
ID sysTableName TableName TableDescription
1 | someTable |Persons |All Data about Persons in system
sysColumns:
ID TableName sysColumnName ColumnName ColumnDesc ColumnType MUnit
1 |someTable | sometable_pname| Name | Persona Name(ex. John)| nvarchar(20) | null
2 |someTable | sometable_Fullname| Full Name | Persona Name(ex. John Black)| nvarchar(50) | null
3 |someTable | sometable_age| age | Person age| int | null
I want that, in Details/Edit/Insert/List/ListDetails pages use as MetaData sysColumns and sysTableData. Because, for ex. in DetailsPage fullName, it is not beatiful as Full Name .
someIdea, is it possible?
thanks
Updated::
In List Page to display data from sysTables (metaData table) I've modified <h2 class="DDSubHeader"><%= tableName%></h2>.
public string tableName;
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
table = DynamicDataRouteHandler.GetRequestMetaTable(Context);
//added by me
uqsikDataContext sd=new uqsikDataContext();
tableName = sd.sysTables.Where(n => n.sysTableName == table.DisplayName).FirstOrDefault().TableName;
//end
GridView1.SetMetaTable(table, table.GetColumnValuesFromRoute(Context));
GridDataSource.EntityTypeName = table.EntityType.AssemblyQualifiedName;
if (table.EntityType != table.RootEntityType)
{
GridQueryExtender.Expressions.Add(new OfTypeExpression(table.EntityType));
}
}
so, what about sysColums? How can I get Data from my sysColumns table?
