    <p>I was able to solve my situation by setting up a normal class to serve as the Model for my DanamicObject, and having my properties be stored like so</p> <pre><code>IList&lt;DynamicProperty&gt; DynamicProperties { get; set; } </code></pre> <p>I created a custom view for the DynamicObject, and in that view I called one of the helpers to display the DynamicProperties property. This lets MVC iterate through the collection and render each property. Next I have a view for the DynamicProperty that I use to render the property as needed. The key is you also have to render a hidden field containing the primary key of that specific attribute. The ModelBinder in MVC3 does a much better job here than it did in MVc2, so it will render the array index as part of the field's name so that the primary key and value of each property get paired up correctly on the submit. You'll likely want to create a ViewModel specifically for the submitted data, I had issues when I tried to use the same model class used in the details/edit views because I only rendered a subset of fields so they were missing when I bound to the same Model class on postback.</p> <p>You can handle the save however you would normally but there are a few considerations securitywise for this type of object. Because the number of attributes is dynamic, there is no way to ensure that the same number of fields are submitted as were originally rendered. The user could inject their own, or worse add in fields for a property you may have explicitly excluded. The AntiForgeryToken would prevent these sort of submissions from happened outside of your domain but with the ease and popularity of DOM manipulation provided by libraries like jQuery, cross site postbacks isn't the only concerns and I don't know if the AntiForgeryToken will account for this but I doubt it.</p> <p>This approach proved to be easier than trying to inherit from DynamicObject, implement GetDynamicMemberNames, and making a custom ModelBinder to use wrap around it.</p> <p>I did however create a custom ModelMetaData and Validation Provider to handle those aspects, since the properties are not strongly typed, so MVC didn't have any annotations to use. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
