Even for small applications I try to, as much as possible, keep sql statements out of my pages. I would argue the coding overhead between using the sqldatasource versus creating just a simple data access layer is minimal and well worth the effort. “For small point&click applications, SqlDataSource may be the way to go” While I certainly understand this point of view I would argue there are countless applications that started out with the intention of being small and spiralled out of control into something much bigger.
