Hey,
I want to bind my GridView control to an ObjectDataSource that
returns: List<User>
But the thing is, one of the user's properties is Department - which
is another custome type.
Is it possible to bind one of the GridView's columns directly to the
Department.Name property?

Thanks ahead

You will need to add a DepartmentName property to the User class that will
return the Department.Name.
