Binding GridView control with datasource

[Nilam2477]

I have Grid view control and this control is associated with SqlDataSource. Is it advicable to always associate a control with data source. What are the disadvantages doing so?
I'm currently changing the design and implementing MVC pattern.
Thanks in advance

a grid view is always being populated by some datasource regardless of SQL datasource or XML datasource. the main thing is that you can use the builtin facility of making ur datasource or try to make ur own i will recommend that you should try to make ur own datasource through your code b/c it will help you in understanding the phenomena of datasource.
