Im a little confused as to what approach to take here. I have a grid whos MastTableView uses bound columns and allowing auto edit/insert. The datasource is an entity datasource (which uses a SQL Server View). However, my edit/insert form obviously comes from a different datasource, and, multiple datasources at that.
Grid
details > datasource1
edit/insert form> datasource2
listbox > datasource3
Should I connect the OnEditCommand for the grid and change its datasource accordingly? I'm fine with doing this programmaticly, but not sure what approach to take. Any good demos on this would be great or support articles.

Hello Marc,
Basically, the control needs to have a consistent datasource, in order for all the relevant operations to be performed as expected. Changing its datasource in a dynamic manner is not a recommended approach.
One possible option in this case would be to use the ItemDataBound event handler, to get a reference to the items in the edit form, and set their datasources accordingly, or simply set their values.
I hope this is a feasible approach for you.
Best wishes,
