ObjectDataSource: could not find a non-generic method '...'

July 13, 2005 · 1 min read

I had this error in beta2 CTP June. I was trying to create an ObjectDataSource using XSD with predefined stored procedures.

One of the reason I figured is what ever the parameters you used in Insert/Update/Delete stored procedures (if you use it at all), they have to be covered in your Get stored procedure's returing columns. I.e.

Your Usp_DoSomething_Get have retured Column1, Column2, Column3

Select Column1, Column2, Column3 FROM myTable

and your Usp_DoSomething_Insert have parameters Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4

You will get this 'could not find a non-generic method' error.

My work around is you have to change your Get method to return Column4 as well.

No idea why.
