ASP.NET MVC3 + EF 4: Bind customizable views to dynamic models
Hi,
We are working on an ASP.NET MVC 3 using ext.net and EF 4.
Data model is mapped using EF4.
Views? content is rendered from customizable XML files.
Example: Within one view, I can display fields that are related to both objects ?customer? and ?order?, so from this view I can modify the customer data and also add a new order.
How can we bind the view to the custom model that contains 2 objects (customer and order)? Using non strongly typed views will require a source code that will check all different possibilities (If I remove/add a field to display from the XML file, object constructor and CRUD operations parameters will change also.
We are wondering how can we handle such dynamic application?
Is this a common issue that was raised before? Or is there any solution to use dynamic views bound to custom model (object, xml, etc.)?
Your help is very appreciated, please enlighten me.
