Chapter 1. Getting Started > Creating a New Dynamic Data Application
Creating a New Dynamic Data Application
Visual Studio 2010 includes two different flavors of project templates for Dynamic Data:
• ASP.NET Dynamic Data Entities
• ASP.NET Dynamic Data LINQ to SQL
Figure 1.1 shows how these templates appear in the New Web Site dialog of Visual Studio. These project templates are nearly identical, and you should choose one based on the data access technology you want to use. If your project, like the sample project accompanying this book, uses Entity Framework, choose the ASP.NET Dynamic Data Entities project flavor.

You can choose either Visual Basic or Visual C# flavors of the Dynamic Data project templates depending on your language preference. Aside from Visual Basic being slightly more verbose than C# when it comes to defining lambda expressions, both languages work equally well.
