How do I consume an ADO.NET Entity model or LINQ query in a custom ASP.NET Server Control

Question

Dear All,

I have written a fairly complicated ASP.NET server control that can bind to various data sources such as the SqlDataSource, XmlDataSource and DataTables

I would like to extend it to bind to a user supplied Linq query or ADO.NET Entity model in a manner similar to the GridView

How do I begin to do this? I've searched around but cannot find much information on doing so.

Pointers to get me started would be greatly appreciated!
