Within .Net 3.5 SP1 and higher, if I do the following:create a database with many FK relationships, drag-and-drop create a LINQ class, create a page with a LINQDataSource & simple ASP.Net GridView, I can then add some simple field tags like:
and presto! I have a grid that shows the relational data, not just ID integers.
I have not yet found a way to access this power using either of the Infragistics grids. The behavior I've experienced so far is that it seems that I am limited to the equivelant of the ASP.Net GridView's BoundField, even when the data source for the Infragistics grid is a LINQDataSource which is pulling from the DataContect model/class.
Is it true that from the Infragistics grids that I do not have access to this Dynamic Data? Would code-behind be required to make it available to the Infragistics grids? Am I mistaken?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Gary,
Currently, this functionality would be a feature request for the control. In order for us to appropriately prioritize our feature list can you please provide me with the time frame you are looking at implementing this feature. I will forward these details along with your name and company from the registered details on your license key to the product manager. Thank you.
Dinesh,Thank you very much for your response!I use DynamicData, levereging Entity Framework and LINQ DataContext models heavily in my work.(I would impliment use of this feature immediately, upon being available in the Infragistics WebGrid!)The fact that I'll need to stick with the default GridView that comes with the .Net framework for now is disappointing, so anything I can do to help Infragistics update their controls... just let me know!
