Ok, here's a strange one.

If I do the following:

1. Create a simple web site
2. Create a business object in app_code
3. Make a new page
4. Add an ObjectDataSource to the page

...then everything is fine and the ObjectDataSource shows the business object as a choice in the dropdown.

HOWEVER....

If I create a business object (even a simple one) in app_code in a DotNetNuke project then none of the ObjectDataSource controls can see this class.

Why?

Am I correct in my assumption that this is a bug in VS2005? Or is there something going on in the DNN project structure that makes this not work?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Any news on this? Have the exact same problem and have been trying EVERYTHING to solve it, still no luck at all. In a freshly created web project it works like a dream, so there must be something with settings in the DotNetNuke.

Here's a little trick I've been using...

Switch to the source view of your ascx.  Paste the following code into your markup and change the ID, SelectMethod and TypeName fields as desired:

<asp:ObjectDataSource
    id="ObjectDataSource1"
    runat="server"
    SelectMethod="YourSelectMethod"
    TypeName="YourNamespace.YourBusinessObjectName">
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

Then switch back to the designer view, and use the smart tag on the ObjectDataSource to configure your data source.  The fields will now be filled in.  When you get to the screen to define your select, update, insert, delete methods, you will see choices from your business object in the list.  Not as elegant as doing it all with the wizard, but lets you use a great control and avoid doing it in the code-behind.

I would say that this is a bug, because even when you designate the class with the <DataObject> attribute it still doesn't see classes in there.

But if you put the object manually, doing the configuration manually in code (like yancer has shown you) it works like a charm, and the objectdatasource shows and binds the data correctly.
