Q: 

Why or why not use a DataSource to fill ASP controls?

So we have a GridView asp control and one of my coworkers doesn't like to use an DataSource to fill the GridView.

I wasn't sure if/what the pros and cons are of using one. I don't mind using going through the wizard to set the type, and the select/update methods.

Besides using the wizard are there pros and cons?
