ObjectDataSource Requires Current User ID

I have a page with a GridView, which uses an ObjectDataSource control to
obtain the data.

The ObjectDataSource control calls a static method on a class I've created.
However, this method needs an argument that is the user key of the current
user.

I know how to use GetUser() to get a MembershipUser object and use the
ProviderUserKey property. But how can I get the ObjectDataSource to use
this?

Is there an even that would allow me to set this somehow?

Thanks!

wrap existing method with the new one:

public static void YourClass.SelectMethodForObjectDataSource() {
YourClass.ExistingMethod(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.N ame);
}

and give the YourClass.SelectMethodForObjectDataSource to ObjectDataSource

Re: ObjectDataSource Requires Current User ID

I guess I didn't think of taking that approach. I was going for a more
generic one that would work with any ID passed. But I could always
overloaded a version that gets the ID from the current user. Thanks.

Re: ObjectDataSource Requires Current User ID

Actually, HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name won't work because I need
the Membership provider user key.

I can still use GetUser() and get it from there, but I wonder now if that is
the most efficient way of doing that.

ObjectDataSource.SelectParameters

Re: ObjectDataSource Requires Current User ID

That's a large page so I could've missed it, but I'm not seeing anything
there where I could use Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey as the
argument. Did I miss it?

I think what is needed is an event where I can provide the value, but I
couldn't see an appropriate one.
