DataBinding to a Web Service in ASP.NET 2.0

One of the cool new features of ASP.NET 2.0 is its rich declarative databinding. In addition to traditional techniques like databinding to a back-end SQL database, you can also databind to web services, using the ObjectDataSource.

In this DevNugget, Mid-Atlantic .net Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie (aka .net DEvHammer) shows you how you can very quickly create a web service to return structured data using a .net 2.0 DataSet class, then how you can easily bind your web service to an ASP.NET 2.0 GridView control using the ObjectDataSource, including both displaying and updating data.

I thought this was about nuggets so he is using the wrong tool anyway. This must be the scrap pile.

This video seems to have problems.  I have tried it on two computers and I get "Media Failure...".  Has it been removed?

Not sure why the video is not displaying properly in the embedded version. You can still access the WMV directly by clicking the WMV icon next to "Formats" below the embedded video...that seems to work fine. Sorry for the difficulty, I'll see if I can figure out what's up.

Thanks to one of the kind folks on the Channel 9 team, we were able to isolate the issue and correct it. The video should work properly now.
