Examples

This section shows an ObjectDataSource in markup in an .aspx page and it shows the business objects that it works with. The example is the .aspx page. It contains a GridView control that is bound to an ObjectDataSource control. The ObjectDataSource control markup specifies the name of the business object and the name of the business object method to call in order to retrieve data.

The following example shows the business object that the ObjectDataSource control in the .aspx page uses. (Many other ObjectDataSource code examples use this business object also.) The example consists of the following two basic classes:

The EmployeeLogic class is the business logic class that the ObjectDataSource uses.
The NorthwindEmployee class defines the data object that is returned by the GetAllEmployees method of the EmployeeLogic class.

An additional NorthwindDataException class is provided as a convenience.

This set of example classes works with the Northwind Traders database, which is available with Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access. For a complete working example, you must compile and use these classes with the .aspx page example that is provided.

Introduction

An ObjectDataSource control works with a class that you create. You create methods that retrieve and update data, and you provide the names of those methods to the ObjectDataSource control in markup. During rendering or postback processing, the ObjectDataSource calls the methods that you have specified.

There is no visual rendering of the ObjectDataSource control. As a result, the ObjectDataSource does not support visual features such as the EnableTheming or SkinID property.

Purpose

A very common application design practice is to separate the presentation layer from business logic and to encapsulate the business logic in business objects. These business objects form a distinct layer between the presentation layer and the data tier, resulting in a three-tier application architecture. The ObjectDataSource control enables developers to use an ASP.NET data source control while retaining their three-tier application architecture.

The ObjectDataSource control uses reflection to create instances of business objects and to call methods on them to retrieve, update, insert, and delete data. The TypeName property identifies the name of the class that the ObjectDataSource works with. The ObjectDataSource control creates and destroys an instance of the class for each method call; it does not hold the object in memory for the lifetime of the Web request. This is a serious consideration if the business object that you use requires many resources or is otherwise expensive to create and destroy. Using an expensive object might not be an optimal design choice, but you can control the life cycle of the object by using the ObjectCreating, ObjectCreated, and ObjectDisposing events.

Note

The methods that are identified by the SelectMethod, UpdateMethod, InsertMethod, and DeleteMethod properties can be instance methods or static (Shared in Visual Basic) methods. If the methods are static (Shared in Visual Basic), an instance of the business object is not created, and the ObjectCreating, ObjectCreated, and ObjectDisposing events are not raised.

Retrieving Data

To retrieve data from a business object, set the SelectMethod property to the name of the method that retrieves data. If the method does not return an IEnumerable or DataSet object, the object is wrapped by the runtime in an IEnumerable collection. If the method signature has parameters, you can add Parameter objects to the SelectParameters collection, and then bind them to the values that you want to pass to the method that is specified by the SelectMethod property. In order for the ObjectDataSource control to use the parameters, the parameters must match the names and types of the parameters in the method signature. For more information, see Using Parameters with the ObjectDataSource Control.

The ObjectDataSource control retrieves data whenever the Select method is called. This method provides programmatic access to the method that is specified by SelectMethod property. The method that is specified by the SelectMethod property is called automatically by controls that are bound to the ObjectDataSource when their DataBind method is called. If you set the DataSourceID property of a data-bound control, the control automatically binds to data from the data source, as needed. Setting the DataSourceID property is the recommended method for binding an ObjectDataSource control to a data-bound control. Alternatively, you can set the DataSource property, but then you must explicitly call the DataBind method of the data-bound control. You can call the Select method programmatically at any time to retrieve data.

For more information about binding data-bound controls to data source controls, see Binding to Data Using a Data Source Control.

Performing Data Operations

Depending on the capabilities of the business object that the ObjectDataSource control works with, you can perform data operations, such as updates, insertions, and deletions. To perform these data operations, set the appropriate method name and any associated parameters for the operation that you want to perform. For example, for an update operation, set the UpdateMethod property to the name of the business object method that performs updates and add any required parameters to the UpdateParameters collection. If the ObjectDataSource control is associated with a data-bound control, the parameters are added by the data-bound control. In this case, you need to ensure that the parameter names of the method match the field names in the data-bound control. The update is performed when the Update method is called, either explicitly by your code or automatically by a data-bound control. The same general pattern is followed for Delete and Insert operations. Business objects are assumed to perform these types of data operations one record at a time, rather than batched.

Filtering Data

The ObjectDataSource control can filter data that is retrieved by the SelectMethod property, if the data is returned as a DataSet or DataTable object. You can set the FilterExpression property to a filtering expression by using a format string syntax and bind values in the expression to parameters that are specified in the FilterParameters collection.

Caching

Although the ObjectDataSource does not retain the instance of the business object across multiple requests, it can cache the result of calling the method identified by the SelectMethod property. While the data is cached, subsequent calls to the Select method return the cached data instead of creating the business object and calling its SelectMethod using reflection. Caching lets you avoid creating the object and calling its data method at the expense of memory on the Web server. The ObjectDataSource automatically caches data when the EnableCaching property is set to true, and the CacheDuration property is set to the number of seconds that the cache stores data before the cache is discarded. You can also specify a CacheExpirationPolicy property and an optional SqlCacheDependency property. The ObjectDataSource control allows you to cache all types of data, but you should not cache objects that retain resources or state that cannot be shared to service multiple requests (for example, an open SqlDataReader object), because the same instance of the object will be used to service multiple requests.

Features

The following table describes the features of the ObjectDataSource control.

Capability	Requirements
Selecting	Set the SelectMethod property to the name of the business object method that selects data, and include any necessary parameters in the SelectParameters collection either programmatically or by using a data-bound control.
Sorting	Set the SortParameterName property to the name of the parameter in the SelectMethod method that carries the sort criteria.
Filtering	Set the FilterExpression property to a filtering expression and optionally add any parameters to the FilterParameters collection to filter the data when the Select method is called. The method specified by the SelectMethod property must return a DataSet or DataTable.
Paging	Data source paging is supported, if the SelectMethod method contains parameters for the maximum number of records to retrieve and the index of the first record to retrieve. The names of those parameters must be set in the MaximumRowsParameterName and StartRowIndexParameterName properties, respectively. A data-bound control might be able to perform paging itself, even if the ObjectDataSource control does not support paging directly in the method specified by the SelectMethod property. The requirement for the data-bound control to be able to do this is that the method specified by the SelectMethod property return an object that implements the ICollection interface.
Updating	Set the UpdateMethod property to the name of the business object method that updates data, and include any necessary parameters in the UpdateParameters collection.
Deleting	Set the DeleteMethod property to the name of the business object method or function that deletes data, and include any necessary parameters in the DeleteParameters collection.
Inserting	Set the InsertMethod property to the name of the business object method or function that inserts data, and include any necessary parameters in the InsertParameters collection.
Caching	Set the EnableCaching property to `true`, and the CacheDuration and CacheExpirationPolicy properties according to the caching behavior you want for your cached data.

Note

When you use the ObjectDataSource class to update or insert data, strings that are entered at the client are not automatically converted from the client culture format to the server culture format. For example, the client culture might specify DD/MM/YYYY as the date format, and the date format on the server might be MM/DD/YYYY. In that case, October 5, 2009 would be entered in a TextBox control as 5/10/2009 but would be interpreted as May 10, 2009. October 15, 2009 would be entered as 15/10/2009, and would be rejected as an invalid date.

Data View

As with all data source controls, the ObjectDataSource control is associated with a data source view class. While the ObjectDataSource control is the interface that the page developer uses to work with data, the ObjectDataSourceView class is the interface that data-bound controls work with. Additionally, the ObjectDataSourceView class describes the capabilities of the data source control, and performs the actual work. The ObjectDataSource control has only one associated ObjectDataSourceView, and it is always named DefaultView. While the ObjectDataSourceView object is exposed by the GetView method, many of its properties and methods are wrapped and exposed directly by the ObjectDataSource control. Behind the scenes, the ObjectDataSourceView object performs all data operations, including retrieving, inserting, updating, deleting, filtering, and sorting the data. For more information, see ObjectDataSourceView.

Using LINQ to SQL

You can use the ObjectDataSource control with a LINQ to SQL class. To do so, you set the TypeName property to the name of the data-context class. You also set the SelectMethod, UpdateMethod, InsertMethod, and DeleteMethod methods to the methods in the data-context class that perform the corresponding operations. You must create an event handler for the ObjectDisposing event in order to cancel disposing of the data-context class. This step is necessary because LINQ to SQL supports deferred execution, whereas the ObjectDataSource control tries to dispose the data context after the Select operation. For more information about how to create LINQ to SQL classes, see How to: Create LINQ to SQL Classes in a Web Project. For an example of how to cancel the disposing of a data context class, see the ObjectDisposing event.

Using the Entity Framework

You can also use the ObjectDataSource control with the Entity Framework. For more information, see Using the Entity Framework and the ObjectDataSource Control.
