Remarks

The LinqDataSourceView class is intended primarily to be used by data-bound controls, and not as a programmable object in page code. Page developers typically use the LinqDataSource control to interact with data.

ASP.NET data source controls contain one or more lists of data, represented by data source view objects. The LinqDataSourceView class extends the DataSourceView class. It defines the capabilities of the LinqDataSource control with which it is associated, and it implements the basic data functionality for the data source control. The LinqDataSourceView class implements the Select, Update, Insert, and Delete operations. It also implements sorting, filtering, and managing settings that are kept in view state.

Although the LinqDataSourceView object is not directly exposed to page developers, many of its properties and methods can be accessed through the LinqDataSource control. The LinqDataSourceView control implements the following data retrieval methods and events and exposes them to page developers and to other callers through the associated LinqDataSource control:

The Select property.
The Selecting event.
The Selected event.
The Update method.
The Updating event.
The Updated event.
The Insert method.
The Inserting event.
The Inserted event.
The Delete method.
The Deleting event.
The Deleted event.

You can sort the data that you retrieve with the LinqDataSource control by adding an OrderBy clause. You can provide a sort expression for the LinqDataSourceView instance by setting the SortExpression property of the DataSourceSelectArguments object that is passed to the Select method. The syntax for the SortExpression property is the same as the syntax for a DataView.Sort property.

The LinqDataSourceView control implements the IStateManager interface and uses view state to track its state across page requests. Implementations of the IsTrackingViewState property and the LoadViewState, SaveViewState, and TrackViewState methods are provided to enable view-state tracking for the control. For more information, see ASP.NET State Management Overview.
