Hi Gerry,
Where did you get the error message? The error message means that you are
trying to use an Object which is not set to an instance.
Since this control is custom ASP.NET server control, please ensure its
Namespace and Class Name is correct in register syntax in web.config.
Besides, you can send me an example which can reproduce the issue. My email
address is (e-mail address removed)
I look forward to hearing from you.

| thanks thomas
|
| I did this same web.config mod and I added a control adapter for the
| ObjectDataSource that will throw an exception at runtime if the control
is
