ASPNEt and ObjectDataSource

Posted on One min read

I do not like very much the ObjectDataSource object of ASP.Net, but sometimes it gets useful, expecially when I already have a service class that extracts exactly the data you want. Today I did some cleanup on a project that is born with standard DAL with Enterprise Library and now Is evolving with nhibernate. I use my loved refactor to make some Safe Delete of old classes…I deleted 5 class that are not used anymore…but…..some of then are used through objectDataSource, so the project still compile well, but the site crash in a couple of page.

This is one of the reason I do not like ObjectDataSource, It use objects with reflection and you do not detect any error until runtime.
