Binding to ObjectDataSource at Run-Time
Updated over 6 months ago
Once a business object with appropriate attributes has been created you can bind to it in code at run-time. The steps are:
-
Set the ObjectDataSource TypeName property to name of the object class, in this example "RadChartBinding.ProductsBO" (Be sure to qualify the class name with the namespace).
-
Set the SelectMethod to the method marked by the DataObjectMethodAttribute.
The code below demonstrates binding to an ObjectDataSource that consumes an example object defined in the topic "Creating an Object that can be consumed by ObjectDataSource".
C#
ObjectDataSource ods = new ObjectDataSource();
ods.SelectMethod = "GetProducts";
ods.TypeName = "RadChartBinding.ProductsBO";
RadChart1.DataSource = ods.Select();
RadChart1.Series[0].DataYColumn = "QuantityInStock";
RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.DataLabelsColumn = "Name";
RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Ariel", 8);
RadChart1.DataBind();
