Hi Christopher, >How can you update a data record (or set of records) without passing in the changed information as parameters?
I can do it calling the Author.Updade() instance method (the changed information is in the Author internal state). The ObjectDataSource class in ASP.NET 2.0 serve as DataSource to bind a business entity with an ASP.NET 2.0 control like GridView. So I supposed that I could bind my 'Author' business entity to the GridView using ObjectDataSource but I cannot do it: I had to write a wrapper (this is the adapter pattern) between 'Author' and the ObjectDataSource. Since it's quite common to have an Update() method in a business entity I was supposed that it should be natural to use the ObjectDataSource with the Update() method without the need o a wrapper/adapter. But it wasn't so. Am I missing something or ObjectDataSource design is poor?
