It's titled "An ObjectDataSource/GridView Adapter for Business Entity
Collections", and in the article he uses the reflection to adapt a
POCO/PI object into subclass of datatable. I haven't used it, but it's
an interesting approach.

I understand this...
Unfortunately not all the components I use accepts a direct binding to
an IList.
As an example some time ago I asked Telerik support if it was possible
to bind directly to their panel bar with an IList.
The answer was at that time (2 months ago) that it was not possible
but it could be done iterating the ilist and building the panelbar
items programmatically.
Plus I considered that the datatable was a superset of an IList as it
direcly exposed other features (like sorting and filtering).
It would be possible to add to the wishlists a QueryForDataSet
or QueryForDataTable methods for the data mapper?
