ObjectDataSource - possible to bind to indexer or indexed property?

[KJ]

Hello all,

I have several objects which use indexers, such as (in C#):

public string this[string FieldName]
{
get
{
return BaseEntity[FieldName];
}
}

Is it possible to bind to these values, or, alternatively, those of a
property which is a StringDictionary, to an ObjectDataSource/GridView?

Hi there,

<asp:ObjectDataSource runat="server" ID="ds"
SelectMethod="MethodReturningStringDictionary"
TypeName="YourClass">
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gv" DataSourceID="ds"
AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Value" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Key" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Hope this helps
