Q: 

Dynamic Data Filter on many-to-many relationship, how?

I am using Dynamic Data with Linq to SQL, and have two tables: Team and TeamMember.

From the user's perspective, its a simple one-to-many relationship, but on the database, a many-to many table sits between them, recording on which dates a member belonged to a team, using From- and To dates.

How do I add a Team dropdown filter on the List template for the members? Such a filter would simply list the members for the picked team, according to today's date.

I have tried the Dynamic Data Futures project, but am still stuck.

Is it worth redoing the project with Entity Framework instead of Linq to SQL?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks kiran, nice reference.Does not quite fit the scope of the question, but I should be able to adapt that sample to fit my needs, so will mark that as answer.
