Using Data Source configuration wizard vs manually configuring data source

Question

Back in the days of VB 4 / VB 5, using data bound controls and data connection wizards would add alot of overhead to the application.

I wanted to know if using the "Configure Data Source" wizard in ASP.Net 3.5 adds alot of unneeded overhead to the webpage?

Thanks

No, it doesn't. Adding the control to the page modifies your designer class code by one line (declaring the object). The wizard simply modifies your markup to include all the necessary properties and attributes that you specify.

This is easily verified by just viewing the changes that adding and configuring a datasource control makes to your page and your designer class.

Nothing the wizard does would be any different than what you would do by declaring the control programatically in your code. It's just a convenient GUI way of quickly generating your declarative markup.
