ObjectDataSource on same aspx or ascx page?

[tshad]

Can you put the ObjectDataSources ObjectCreated and ObjectDisposing events on the code behind of the same page?

If so, how would you do it?

Say I have a page called JobsLists.ascx, at the moment I have the following for my ObjectDataSource:

<asp:ObjectDataSource 
        ID="mObjectDataSource" 
        runat="server" 
        SelectMethod="GetDataSet"
        onobjectcreated="mObjectDataSource_ObjectCreated"
        onobjectdisposing="mObjectDataSource_ObjectDisposing"
	TypeName="MySystem.DataLayer.JobsListManager"
>

This would expect the events to be on the JobsListManager.cs page.

Can I put this on the JobsList.ascx.cs page?

The namespace would be MySystem.Views.Controls, with the page being JobsList.ascx.

If so, how would I do the "TypeName" or some other settings?

Thanks,

Tom

If you the the control on the ascx then it will look for the events on the ascx.cs page. HOWEVER. I strongly suggest NOT using the datasource controls. You have very little control and no way of debugging them when there is a problem. You are best off creating your on DAL.
