Programatically change DataSourceID?

[Guest]

Using Visual Studio 2005 / ASP.NET 2.0.

Newbie to ASP 2.0.

I have a GridView and multiple SqlDataSource's on a single page. Each query
is vastly different, but the results share a similar column set. Without
going into details on the project constraints, I was wondering if it's
possible to dynamically change the DataSourceID property of the GridView
control to point to a different SqlDataSource depending on values passed from
another page.

GridView1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSource2 doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

The correct syntax would be:
GridView1.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource2"; //it needs a string which the ID
GridView1.DataBind(); //do not forget to databind
