I’m attempting to create a web app that works with business data models, pretty much a simple CRUD setup. I’d like to leverage the inbuilt CRUD support in ASP.Net controls like the ListView, but the EntityDataSource doesn’t support the Code First connection string.
Do I have to develop a custom DataSource to achieve this? How can I achieve this native databinding support?
No you don’t have to develop custom data source you just need
ObjectDataSourceand custom object executing your CRUD operations used by this data source.
