I'm finally digging into Dynamic Data (long overdue). I notice that when I'm viewing the web site, on the main table lists, the primary key field is not displayed.
For example, I have a table that holds Status Codes, with two fields.
StatusCode int identity Primary Key
StatusCodeDescription varchar(25)
On my web site's StatusCodes/List.aspx page, only the StatusCodeDescription shows.
I realize that I can't edit the primary key, but I would like to show it. Is this possible with Dynamic Data?
I can think of some workarounds myself, and in all honesty, I could dig into the documentation further to find it myself, but I'm hoping that someone with more experience knows the answer and can save me some time looking. A link to the appropriate documentation would even be good.
