> I am trying to create a "easy to use" gridview with filters (dropdownlist

>
> well.....my problem is that I cant add a ODS in my gridview....
> in the gridview, in the onload or OnPreRender method, I try to affect the
> datasourceid property to the ID of the "inside" ODS...but i get always the
> same error :
> <<<the DataSourceID of "mygridview" must be the ID of a IDataSource
> control. A control with the ID "_ods" was noty found>>>
