In the old days datagrid however using a dataset as a datasource would still required databind() before it can render on the page. Now a days, GridView using objectdatasource as its datasource doesn't require databind() in order for it to appear. It appears automatically. Is there a way to stop that behaviour and manually control when one wish to have it render.

I think you would have to not tie the gridview to a datsource. Then create your own dataadapter and dataset then fill it and bind that to the view.
Please try to be patient once you have asked a question - Tek-Tips isn't a help desk and people will reply when they feel like they want to.
As for the GridView, if you set up the connection and fill the DataSet (or DataTable etc) in code rather than using the designer then the code shouldn't actually be any different (i.e. a DataSource will still have to be specified and DataBind will still have to be called).
