ObjectDatasourc e

[motorhead_maniac]

hi All,

Iam having a objectdatasourc e control declared in the markup as
<asp:ObjectData Source ID="odsProperti es" runat="server"
TypeName="Syste m.Collections.I Enumerable"
SelectMethod="G etProperties"></asp:ObjectDataS ource>
Then on the code behind iam hacing a method declated like ...

public IEnumerable GetProperties()
{

return New ArrayList();
}
but i still get the following error

ObjectDataSourc e 'odsProperties' could not find a non-generic method
'GetProperties' that has no parameters.
Am i missing something ?, this is very basic and should work :)

regards

Your typename should be the name of the class where the method is defined in
e.g
public class MyClass{
public IEnumerable GetProperties()
{
return New ArrayList();
}
}

so your ObjectDataSourc e should be

<asp:ObjectData Source ID="odsProperti es" runat="server"

TypeName="MyCla ss" SelectMethod="G etProperties"></asp:ObjectDataS ource>
Your previous construct would insinuate that "GetPropert ies" was a method in
the System.Collecti ons.IEnumerable class

Onwuka,

specify the control class name itself somehow :)
