Hi.

I have a gridview I want to populate with an ObjectDataSource.

Problem is, when I use the wizard in VS2010, I cannot find the method I just created (and returns a List), in the second stage of the wizard. Instead I can see alot of others, probably inherited, methods.

What is wrong here?

Thanks alot for your time!

Kind regards,

Lars

Have you set is as a public static method? If I recall (and it's been a while), that is required for it to display in the list of methods.

Thanks alot for your answer!

I was a bit wrong. I actually cannot see the page the objectdatasource belongs to in the "Business object list". (I could before, since i set have set it manually).

So the question now is: How do I make the hosting page to the ODS show in the "Business object list" dropdown in the menu?

thanks! :)

You need to clarify: I can't really understand what you are asking.
