Remarks

To bind the ObjectDataSource to an object, leave this property set to null. In the Data Source wizard, this scenario corresponds to the following option: “Do not select a member, bind to the entire object”.

To bind the ObjectDataSource to a property or method, assign its name to the DataMember property. When binding to a method, it is also required to specify this method’s ObjectDataSource.Parameters.
