Where does the ObjectDataSource cache data?

Question

I'm considering using an ObjectDataSource as an intermediate between my page controls and my data access layer & object model. Traditionally I have manually created the object and populate it via a series of findcontrol statements when I need to insert/update data in the database. I'm hoping that I can use the ObjectDataSource to marshal data between my object and my controls, eliminating that manual code, as long as the ObjectDataSource doesn't come with a lot of overhead.

I noticed the EnableCaching property, where does the caching occure? is it in view state?

Which programming language are we talking about here?? – Carl Smotricz Mar 16 '10 at 15:59 — Carl Smotricz, Mar 16 '10 at 15:59
sorry, this refers to the .net environment (asp.net) – Jeremy Mar 16 '10 at 17:00 — Jeremy, Mar 16 '10 at 17:00

Ok, so it's server side then. Bah! I was hoping for viewstate. – Jeremy Mar 16 '10 at 17:07

Would you really want to cache that much data in viewstate? – Josh Mar 16 '10 at 18:16
