How could I go about adding a 'New...
I have an ASP.NET Dynamic Data application (using Entity Framework) in which I have just discovered a duplicate key error when attempting a database insert.

I want to know about the availability of Forms APIs for ASP.NET, either for MVC or WebForms. I am learning about Django right now, and I really love their forms APIs.

Hi, I was just playing around with ckeditor and can't get the darn thing to work for me. I somehow need to "data bind" the text box just before or at the same time of post back. How do I do that? Loading the data is fine but when I click update I need to somehow retrieve the new value of the text box. It's not as easy as to call the cl...
I have a small dynamic data application, and have just spend several minutes on a wild goose chase because VS 2008 kept highlighting a line in my List.aspx page template, telling me the tag was badly formed, while the error was in my Edit.aspx page template.
