  ObjectDataSource with FormView Issue

  Jan 26, 2013 09:27 PM|LINK

  Hi, I'm having trouble binding my formview to an ods. The error is:

  "ObjectDataSource 'ClientsDataSource' could not find a non-generic method 'GetAllClients' that has no parameters."

  
  I've double checked spelling, tried adding/removing DataKeyNames property and few other with no luck. The only time it works is if I bind to a detailsview and leave the bound columns untouched, but this is not what I want.

  here is my code:

  Public Function GetAllCients() As IEnumerable(Of Client)
  
          Dim AllClients = (From c In context.Clients
                            Order By c.LastName
                            Select c).ToList()
  
          Return AllClients
      End Function

  and markup:

  <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ClientsDataSource" runat="server" SelectMethod="GetAllClients"
          TypeName="DAL" EnableCaching="true" CacheDuration="30">
       </asp:ObjectDataSource>

  <asp:FormView ID="clientsFormView" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" BackColor="White" 
            BorderColor="#3366CC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" DataKeyNames="ClientId" 
            DataSourceID="ClientsDataSource">
          <ItemTemplate>
              Contact:<br /><br />
              <asp:Label ID="clientid" Text='<%# Bind("ClientId") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
              Name:<br />
              <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FullName") %>'></asp:TextBox>
              <br />
              Phone:<br />
              <asp:TextBox ID="txtPhone" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Phone") %>'></asp:TextBox>
              <br />
              Email:<br />
              <asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Email") %>'></asp:TextBox>
          </ItemTemplate>
          <EmptyDataTemplate>
              <h2>No Data</h2>
          </EmptyDataTemplate>
          <EditRowStyle BackColor="#009999" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#CCFF99" />
          <FooterStyle CssClass="ClientDetailsFooter" />
          <HeaderStyle CssClass="ClientDetailsHeader" />
          <PagerStyle BackColor="#99CCCC" ForeColor="#003399" HorizontalAlign="Left" />
          <RowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#003399" />
          
      </asp:FormView>

  any help would be appreciated.

  Hi,

  Your codes look nice……So please re-build your program and have a try again.

  Problem may be your UI isn't synchronized with your codes, so it cannot be recognized.
