Thanks for your tips.

I’ve been reading about Dynamic Data websites and I have found that you can’t use more than a single DataContext in the global.asax file.

So, if you have decided to use as many LINQ to SQL classes as the best alternative for not overloading your system with a huge file (my project has more than a 140 tables until now) as it is recommended in your blog by means of making shorter pieces of code, avoiding the problems you could have by instantiating unnecessary classes when they are not required.

As I have tried, you can’t have both. You can’t have many DataContexts but not inside a Dynamic Project.

My question is: How can you combine both techniques as to produce the initial and valuable scaffolding CRUD design provided by the ASP.Net 3.5 that had help me a lot in debugging and building a proper ERD with the right primary and foreign keys. I have been using extensively an ERD based upon the use of referential integrity at its best as to produce all filtering that is required by the Dynamic Data design.

On my side: If I were to have more than one DataContext inside a DynamicData website, how can I configure the global.aspx files as to use any of them depending on what DataContext I am intereste to use (different DataContext wouldn’t elt you instantiate teh same object into different contexts. It will give you an error message at compile time)

As I said: it could be very convenient having those two techniques used at once but if you have one you can’t have the other.

That’s my point.

I’m I correct

It’s the equivalent of creating a Compiled Regex, but not caching it.

var a = from c in context.Categories
select new Category
{
CategoryID = c.CategoryID,
CategoryName = c.CategoryName,
Description = c.Description
};
Raise an exception Explicit construction of entity type ‘###’ in query is not allowed . Because ‘Category’ is a Entity was generated by LinqToSQL class. Can someone solved it ?
Thanks again !

Just marked this for the link of month list,
