I spent a few hours putting together a Dynamic Data web site using the YUI DataTable and DataSource components. I mostly just did this out of curiosity to see how easy or difficult it would be to use the DD API with other components besides the GridView and DetailsView controls. So I created a DD web site that provides read-only access to Northwind's Customer, Employee and Supplier tables, but I am not using ASP.NET's GridView, DataSource and UpdatePanel controls to render the grid. Instead I have replaced these components with YUI's client side DataTable and DataSource and serve the data using a web service (paging included!). Below are a few of the highlights, and don't forget to download the sample and try it out for yourself. Its experimental, but if you are new to DD or YUI you might find it interesting.
