objectdatasource question
<p>For the moment, I'm binding my gridviews by calling a linq query that returns a list collection of objects MyObject. In my gridview, if I'm using a boundfield I set its Datafield property to the name of the property of MyObject and if I'm using an itemtemplate I work with Eval. In my code behind, I have</p>

<pre><code>MyGridview.DataSource = MyListOfMyObject;
MyGridview.DataBind();
</code></pre>

<p>All seems to work fine.</p>

<p>What's the purpose of adding an ObjectDataSource control in the aspx file. What does it do extra?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>PS: I'm new to the .net framework and I'm still figuring things out. </p>
