ASP .NET DataSource Member source code

Question

Does anyone has been able to step into the definition of the DataSource member of an ASP .NET control? They all inherit from BaseDataBoundControl.

I've been trying to step into the framework but apparently the symbol for that assembly is not available in the public server I took from here.

Basically I'd like to know how they serialize the DataSource in order to persist it. I read about one approach, which consists in converting any possible source that implements ICollection into a DataTable.

Please anyone paste the code here.

It might be worth taking a look at the core CSLA.NET framework (http://www.lhotka.net/) Its implements various low level DataSource controls?
