Welcome.

Please don't hijack another thread to ask your question but start your own thread instead.

I think some more information is required so that the best course of action can be taken.

Hi,
Sorry I didn't mean hijacking another thread. I just saw a possible solution and would like to have some more detailed information about it.

I'm working on a web site on my local server (Visual Studio 2008)
It works fine but, when I test it on remote ASP.NET server I face this error:
A type must be specified in the TypeName property of ObjectDataSource 'ObjectDataSource1'.

If I use SQLDataSource instead of ObjectDataSource it also works fine.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,
