MetaModel Class

Definition

Represents one or multiple databases that are used by ASP.NET Dynamic Data.

public ref class MetaModel
public class MetaModel
type MetaModel = class
Public Class MetaModel
Inheritance
MetaModel

Examples

The following example shows how to use MetaModel type to perform the following tasks in order to use automatic scaffolding in an ASP.NET Web site:

  • Get the data model for the default data context.

  • Get the data model for a specified data context.

  • Evaluate the routing path (determine the URL) for a specified table.

The example consists of a page and its code-behind file.

Remarks

The MetaModel type lets you register one or multiple data contexts for a Dynamic Data Web application.

A data context is an object that represents a database connection. A data context has access to one data model which represents a database that is available through that connection. A data model is an object that represents a database's data entities as CLR types. Dynamic Data supports data models based on LINQ to SQL and on the ADO.NET Entity Framework.

In Visual Studio, you can generate data-model types by using the LINQ to SQL Classes template or the ADO.NET Entity Data Model template. These templates use the Object Relational Designer (O/R Designer) for the LINQ to SQL model, or the ADO.NET Entity Data Model Designer (Entity Designer) for the Entity Framework model.
