We did not introduce this new DataSource control binding concept. This new concept was introduced by Microsoft in ASP.NET 2.0. With this new data binding mechanism in ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft encouraged developers to use DataSource control to take advantage of new features and productivity gains.
As leading third party component provider, we are committed to deliver latest products that integrate and work best with latest Microsoft's technologies. The DataSource control supported in Intersoft 2007 product lines enables professional developers to leverage the benefits of new data access features and functions available in ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
Recognizing many benefits that DataSource control offered, we highly recommend developers to use this new data binding mechanism.
