You have the following options to configure through the application’s configuration file:

The `DynamicDataStoreOptions` can be defined under `EPiServer:Cms`.

• The `DynamicDataStoreOptions` element has the child elements `AutoResolveTypes`, `AutoRemapStores`, and `DeleteAllOperationTimeout` and the following attributes:

  • `autoResolveType` can be **true** (default) or **false**.

    If set to **true** then the Dynamic Data Store tries to resolve .NET Types if the `System.Type.GetType` method call fails for types stored in a store. The resolution occurs by removing the version information from the type string and calling `Type.GetType` again. If this fails, the resolution occurs by removing the assembly information from the type string and calling `Type.GetTyp`e again. If the Type still is not resolved, an exception is thrown.

    If set to **false**, type resolving occurs through assembly redirects in the configuration file.

  • `autoRemapStores` can be **true** (default) or **false**.

    If set to **true**, then the Dynamic Data Store automatically remaps all .NET classes decorated with the `EPiServerDataStoreAttribute` attribute and where the `AutomaticallyRemapStore` property is set to true, to their respective stores when the Class and store mappings are no longer aligned.

    If set to **false**, no automatic remapping is done for any class.

  • `DeleteAllOperationTimeout` – The extended command timeout to use when deleting all items in a store.



## Change configuration programmatically

You can modify some of the Dynamic Data Store configuration programmatically through the `EPiServer.Data.Dynamic.DynamicDataStoreOptions` class. You should do this during the configuration phase of the site initialization, by configuring `IServiceCollection` in the `ConfigureServices` method in the `Startup` class.



## Recommendations

• Create/obtain instances of the `DynamicDataStore` on the stack, use them and then discard them. Note that the Dynamic Data Store **is not** thread safe and if an instance is used and shared between multiple threads, it should be protected with thread-locking techniques.

• Implement `EPiServer.Data.IDynamicData` or a `Guid` property called Id on your objects to be saved when you want to control the external identity of your objects.

• Use the same instance of a Dynamic Data Store to load and then update a POCO object (object without identity).
