Question

I have created a asp.net Dynamic data linq to sql web site. After creating the project, one table is added using linq to SQL classes.

On running the project, data from the table is visible but edit button is not seen.
Edit button can be seen in the code in list.aspx but on running only table contents are seen without edit option.
In code i see all the options mentioned in Global.asax

routes.Add(New DynamicDataRoute("{table}/{action}.aspx") With {
    .Constraints = New RouteValueDictionary(New With {.Action = "List|Details|Edit|Insert"}),
    .Model = DefaultModel})

Do you know if we have to do anything to make edit option available ?

Here is the complete file

Answer 1

your route should contains the “Edit” value

 routes.Add(new DynamicDataRoute("{table}/{action}.aspx")
        {
            Constraints = new RouteValueDictionary(new { action = "List|Details|Edit|Insert" }),
            Model = DefaultModel
        });

Does your table have editing permissions ? bcz dynamic data uses all the database checks,permissions
