By inspecting/ debugging the class library I think there might be a problem in 
DataBoundControl.OnPagePreLoad() which calls DataBoundControl.Initialize(). The 
comment in the code says
that the DataBoundControl.RequiresDataBinding property should be set to true in 
cases where the HTTP request is not a postback or it is a postback and view 
state is enabled but the data-bound control has not yet been bound. This is 
wrong because it does not consider the SelectCommand property of the 
SqlDataSource. If this property has not been defined, data binding must not 
take place.

Subject: [Mono-aspnet-list] GridView/ Databinding bug in Mono 2.10.5









Databinding in Mono is different
compared to .Net Framework. I have observed this within a complex web
application. Below you will find the steps to create a small example
web app that demonstrates the issue:



Create an ASP.NET project
        Add a GridView to Default.aspx
        Add an SqlDataSource to
        Default.aspx and connect it to the GridView
        Set the ConnectionString property
        to a valid network connection via an ODBC database driver
        Do not define the SelectCommand
        property
        Add an event handler
        SqlDataSource1_Selecting() which should be called whenever a
        databindung operation ocurrs.
        Put a breakpoint in
        SqlDataSource1_Selecting() to verify if databinding takes place




If you run the application in Visual
Studio, you will notice that SqlDataSource1_Selecting() is never
called. But if you run the application in Mono 2.10.5
SqlDataSource1_Selecting() is called which will result in an
exception because the SelectCommand property is actually not defined.



It is common practice not to define the
SelectCommand property within the .aspx file but rather calulate the
actual query string within the code behind. Defineing the
SelectCommand property within the .aspx file requires the use of ODBC
parameters. However, Mono does currently not support this (see bug
#694047 -> reported 4 months ago but not resolved yet). As a result we are 
forced to use the code behind method in
Mono if we need to access a database via ODBC.


Best regards,Martin
