DataSource Controls :: Inserting In GridView Using ObjectDataSource With DataObjectTypeName

This is not my solution. I actually compiled it here with proper example. So I don't take any credit for the solution. In the past I have used GridView to insert recordsbut not using ObjectDataSource. Mostly I did it by catching RowCommand event of GridView and call the appropriate function. This time I was adamant using ObjectDataSource to Insert in Gridview. GridView doesn't support Insert so it does not actually instantiate OBjectDataSourceView automatically for Insert operation

So here is the soloution, catch the RowCommand event of gridview, get the ObjectDataSourceView, create orderedDictionary, add entries to ordered dictionary, call insert function of ObjectDataSourceView instead of ObjectDataSource. Here is the RowCommand event of the gridview
