Hi,
 
We are using ASPDataSource to bind the entities to the grid and looking for an alternate of ControlBindingManager, which binds any object with IdeaBlade business objects.
 
We can't use <ASP:DetailsView> as layout as skinning is difficult and would be better if you have alternate solution to bind the detail controls to single entity like below from Client/Server.
 
this.mContactsCBM.BoundType = typeof(ABC.BusinessObjects.Contact);

this.mContactsCBM.Descriptors.Add(new IdeaBlade.UI.WinForms.ControlBindingDescriptor(this.salutationTextBox, typeof(ABC.BusinessObjects.Contact), "Salutation"));

Thanks & Regards,

Rajan R.G

You are not the first person to ask for this feature, but to implement it would be a huge amount of work, and, in the end, it would not be as good as the Control Binding Manager that we use for WinForms.  Therefore, we have decided not to implement the feature, and instead to concentrate on higher priority feature requests.

Can you provide us any other alternate approach or helper classes to avoid detailsview and bind to asp objects?
