Updating ODS with FormView

[Larry R]

ASP.Net 2, Formview.
I have a ObjectDataSource that is bound to a custom BusinessObject. On
the formview, I have some dropdownlists and checkboxlist that are bound
to a database for their values.

I need to read the values and apply them to properties in the Business
object. I have tried "catching" the FormView1_ItemUpdating(), but the
sender.DataItem is nothing.

How do I update my business object with the values from the formview (
that are listed based on the database) ?

Since I didn;t even get a reply, I thought I would try and elaborate a
little. I have a property in my business object that is a String() that
cooresponds to a checkbox list. So I can;t bind it directly ( or can I
? ) I planned on just before the ODS Update happened, to Join() the
values and then split() them in the Business Object.

What I can't figure out is how to set a property on the ODS business
object before it is updated.

Any clues here??
