In a nutshell this enables you to really quickly build data driven web-sites that work against a LINQ to SQL (and in the future LINQ to Entities) object model - and optionally allows you to-do this without having to build any pages manually. The best way to see this in action is to watch David Ebbo's awesome 17 minute screen-cast: You can also follow the steps below to easily get started and use the dynamic data support: Step 1: Create a ASP.NET Dynamic Data Site: Once you have the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP release installed, you can use VS 2008 or the free Visual Web Developer 2008 Express to create a new Web Site or Web Application Project that has the ASP.NET dynamic data support enabled: Step 2: Add a LINQ to SQL Data Model to Your Site Step 3: Enable Dynamic Templates in Your Project: Step 4: Run Your Site.
