Dynamic Data in .NET 3.5 SP1

I've been writing code today and trying to understand the Dynamic Data feature in .NET 3.5 SP1.  There are some cool new attributes.  I think my favorite one is [DataType()].  With the DataType attribute, a programmer is effectively providing a simple hint to the system regarding what the datataype is being used for.  I added a DataType attribute to one of my columns like [DataType(DataType.Currency)].  All of a sudden, I got Currency formatting and such.  Very cool indeed.
