Problem wiht objectdatasource

[MG]

using object data source is efficient or not? that remains a question. also
this has led to an argument between my superior and myself.
i want to know would a connected datasource(example datareader ) be
preferred over objectdatasource.

how would i know efficiency in either case? any metrics available for this?

thanks in advance.

I think ObjectDataSource and relational data sources are for different
purposes and a comparison between them in terms of metrics/performance may
not be that meaningful. The former is meant for binding business entities
(such as collection of employees, departments, etc) to controls while the
latter is for pulling/binding data from databases.

Hope I understood your question correctly.
