Gerard:
I got this from somewhere on the Web. Surround your DataSource with an ASP.Net Panel.

<asp:Panel ID="pnlDataSources" runat="server"
        Style="z-index:109; left:5%; top:234%;  position:absolute" 
        Visible="false">
             <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="odsStirtable" runat="server" OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}"
            SelectMethod="GetStirtable" TypeName="STIR.Data.DataService" EnableCaching="True" CacheDuration="604800"  >
        </asp:ObjectDataSource>
    </asp:Panel>

>Yes. this is the main reason...but if you start hiding them, and come back to the form in 6 months, you are wondering if they are there, and this can be compounded if you have multiple datasources on the form.
