Scaffolding in ASP.NET: Dynamic Data Support
ASP.NET Dynamic Data Support is part of the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions, which have been published as a CTP last week. It provides a scaffolding framework that allows rapid application development based on ASP.NET.
Scaffolding originates from the field of architecture and construction. It is a temporary framework used in the early stages of constructing or repairing a building. In the field of programming scaffolding code is used to provide temporary structure and support until a permanent solution is available. The scaffolding approach has become popular in the Rails MVC Web Framework.
