I've figured out how to use metadata to define the displaynames for table data I want to rename - but I haven't figured out how to do this to the tables themselves - so that when the initial dynamic data menu comes up the menu options are friendly rather than the actual table names. Any suggestions?
See the TableNameAttribute. It takes effect when you reference MetaTable.DisplayName. The attribute can be applied either to the specific table class, or its associated MetadataType class.

I use https://codesandbox.io/s/wonderful-lichterman-br63z and would like to prefill items (with specific data) in the form.
What is the best approach to do this ? I have entries in redux which I would like to get into this dynamic form prefilled.
I know that I can create placeholders, but how can I add specific data ?
What really makes it difficult is that I need a relation between a rendered item and an entry from a data array.
Please see:

I hope the solution works for your use case. You will need to replace my hard-coded default values with desired initial values from your redux store. Cheers!
Update:
I found a better implementation. Turns out add method allows one to set a dynamic fields defaultValue

2sxc question. I have a lot of single entities of a content type that I want to combine into a list. Essentially, I have four columns and each column has an individual 2sxc content module in it. The column layout is controlled by DNN content panes. What I want to do is create a list template for that content type and add those individual items to the list. The columns would be created in the list template dynamically.
Is this advisable, or am I better off just recreating the content and using a new list template. If it is feasible, what steps would I have to take to make the conversion.
Thanks
This is very easy. The only question is if you want to manually choose which items to show in the list, or if you want to query it like a DB.
Manual approach: create a new template, say it's a list, and you're ready to go. You'll have to add "demo-items" and then "replace" them with the real one, so the initial setup has a lot of clicking.
Query-approach: create a new template, but then loop over the App.Data["Type"] instead of the Data["Default"]
ok?
I have a tbl_categories and a tbl_items. I want to display tbl_categories in a horizontal manner and list objects from tbl_items vertically below each category name. I am confused how to get all this data using TSQL stored procedures and displaying them using ASP.NET native controls.
Columns with headers of category names. rows of items keyed with category_id.
The db is set up correctly. It is the ASP.NET controls I have trouble with.
I would use a Repeater myself, and make it output an HTML Table. The categories row would be in the HeaderTemplate, the closing tags in the FooterTemplate, and the actual data inside the ItemTemplate

The best way to handle this is to setup business objects which support the data in a way you wish to present it, which may not always be the way it is handled by your database.
Then you can use those objects directly to bind or feed data into the UI.
You could use Pivot to do that. See this referece http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410.aspx
I have an Entity (Extensions) with a number of properties (e.g. id, extension, prefix) and a few navigation properties (phones_departments, phones_buildings) - they show up in the order they display in the EDMX...but what if I want them to display in a different order? I'm using Dynamic Data - is there a way to accomplish this?
are you showing your data in a grid?
if yes, you could sort grid columns based on some other property. You could for example have a ColumnOrder property in your data store and update that. The code to sort the columns varies per grid, but it is usually easy to do.
Main point being is that you want to modify the display level logic, not the way the actual object is created. since your order can always very per application.
I am trying to build a 6x6 grid layout. In each cell, there will be an input check box. I want to bind the checkboxes to my backing bean in a "consecutive fashion"...meaning, I would like to be able to iterate over the checkboxes to see whether they are checked or not. Basically, there must be an underlying data model. For example, you can drag over and drop off as a table, any item in the data control palette. Then in my application module, I can modify the view object as I wish before I save to the database. Now if I have a table with 36 rows and two columns (one is Id, one is Numeric (1 or 0)). I would like to drag over that table and drop off as a Grid that will enable a user to update each of the rows by selecting or 'un-selecting' a checkbox.
Try to use for each or Iterator component. They iterate over some array/collection and repeat elements enclosed within those components. You can check how Oracle does Dynamic Table (when you drag view object instance from application module to a page, choose dynamic table option) to get and idea.
