Paging, Sorting, and Filtering Data with the ObjectDataSource Control
The ObjectDataSource control provides you with two options for paging and sorting database data. You can take advantage of either user interface or data source paging and sorting. The first option is easy to configure, and the second option has much better performance. In this section, you learn how to take advantage of both options.
You also learn how to take advantage of the ObjectDataSource control’s support for filtering. When you combine filtering with caching, you can improve the performance of your data-driven web pages dramatically.
