How to programmatically access ObjectDataSource values

[avezina]

We would like to use those new cool features of Asp.Net 2.0 like the
ObjectDataSource in our project. I tried few basics examples and its
work well.

Let's say I have a page that displays a detail of a product. On my
page I have a product name and a short description. So I declare an
ObjectDataSource in my page

<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="productData" runat="server"
SelectMethod="GetProduct"
TypeName="MyRedmond.Gumsnet.WebUi.UiProcess.Controller.ProductContentController">
<SelectParameters>
<asparameter DefaultValue="10" Name="productID"
Type="Object" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

Now I can bind this ObjectDataSource to any data control, but in this
case I want to display information at many places in my page using this
single ObjectDataSource. So I want to be able to programmatically
access ObjectDataSource values, but the Question is HOW?

You can access the ObjectDataSource's SelectParameters from anywhere on the
page and change the DefaultValue to anything you'd like. Also, you can handle
the ObjectDataSource's Selecting event and then modify the parameters for
that one select by adding or chaninging the ObjectDataSourceSelectingEventArgs's
InputParameters. HTH

Is there a way to go through the ObjectDataSource using foreach(....)
