COMMENTED ISSUE: New Web site 'Customise Web Site' does not work properly

ColinN — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 11:05:37 GMT

When I create a website, and get through the first three dialogs, until the 'Customise Website' dialog appears, having Added All Modules to the Website Structure;
When I click on 'Finish' I then get a whole series of error dialogs.
These come in pairs, the first one always says "Could not reformat document, the original format has been restored'
The 2nd error dialog says 'Could not complete the action'.

One pair of these dialogs appears for every table in the application.

Clearly this is not working as designed. I am unable to tell what is the root cause of this issue
Comments: I haver the same problem generating the application against my own database - not sure what is missing as application appears to be working OK.

Comments: I have installed Dynamic Data Website Wizard newly and I'm also experiencing the same problem is there any solution for this.

Comments: This is from Scott Hanselman... This looks like the using the wrong data model in the wrong project type. Note you have a Linq2SQL datacontext but the errors come from the EntityDataSource. There are two project templates for Dynamic Data: Dynamic Data and Dynamic Data Entites. For doing Linq2Sql models you need to use the Dynamic Data project. For doing EntityFramework models you need to use the Dynamic Data Entities. We have two different project types because the templates and pages are a little different based on which model type is used.

CREATED ISSUE: New Web site 'Customise Web Site' does not work properly

CREATED ISSUE: New Website that has a int and a nvarchar foreighn key mixes them up in the DBML

bryn — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:28:07 GMT

If I have a child table of a parent table with a foreign key relationship, and the parent table has a primary key consisting of two fields, one being an Int, and the other a string (Nvarchar(128)), when the wizard creates the foreign key relationship in the DBML file , it crosses over the parent int to the child string key, and vice versa.
so that parent.mfr_id > child.mfr_part_no and parent.mfr_part_no > child.mfr_id

This is despite the fact that the keys are stored correctly in the foreign key definition in the database.

When this happens, the wizard stops working properly, and I find that the 'Add Data Pages to Website' dialog does not populate correctly. I am however able to click on the finish button and the application is created. I can then fix the layout file and things work <sort of> OK.

CREATED ISSUE: New Website will not use an existing Data Model

bryn — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:19:58 GMT

I have an existing Data Model which consists of a connection to a SQLServer Express 2005 database.
This Data Model comes up in the list when I go to create a new website based upon the Dynamic Data wizard, however I find that in order to get the wizard to work it is necesary always to click on the 'new connection' button.

This strikes me as dysfunctional, and obviously it is not working as designed.
