Is there anyway to prevent ObjectDataSource query the database when the page opens?

[Max2006]

Hi,

I have a search result GridView bound to an ObjectDataSource. Once I open
the asp.net page, the ObjectDataSource automatically refreshes the GridView
which is the default behavior.

I am trying to disable automatic query feature in ObjectDataSource, such
that it query the database only when the user click on Search button.

Is there anyway to prevent ObjectDataSource query the database when the page
opens?

Thank you,
Max

Try removing the ObjectDataSource from the scenario altogether -
then, with the button's click event, add:
Gridview1.DataSource=(YourClass.Yourmethod)
Gridview1.Databind

Remember, though, in removing the DatasourceID from the Gridview, DO NOT let
it refresh the schema - it will remove all your fields and formatting,
giving you the default look and feel.
