Remarks

The EntityDataSource control supports only one data source view. Like all data source view objects, the EntityDataSourceView object that is associated with the data source control defines its capabilities, performs all work that is necessary to retrieve data from the underlying database, and performs operations, such as sorting, inserting, deleting, and updating.
