Question about new SqlDataSource class

[Benton]

Hi there,

I'm learning about ASP.NET 2.0 databinding and see that this class is
heavily used for this purpose.

I don't use MS SQL Server, so my question is if a derived/compatible class
should be included on the .NET provider for the database I use, or if I as
an application developer can easily create my own. If the latter is the
case, I'd appreciate any pointers on how to do this.

Best Regards,

-Benton

you can still use the ADO.NET 1.1 model, the SqlDataSource class simply
encapsulates a lot of logic to simplify things.

If you desire building your own, I would "reverse engineer" the Sql classes
and build your own using copy/paste/change type of development.

Actually I am using .NET 2.0 only. By "reverse engineer" do you mean
disassembling the .NET assemblies? Or do you mean something else? Yes, you
can see this matter is not one of my strongest points.
