ASP.NET Dynamic Data lets you create data-driven Web applications easily. It does this by automatically discovering the LINQ-to-SQL or Entities Framework data model at run time and determining how to render UI from the data model.

We suggest the following progression of documentation to help you learn about Dynamic Data.
