I think there has been a bit of backfilling going on with some MSDN documentation. The following article gives some examples of what the different SPDataSource modes do – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.webcontrols.spdatasource.datasourcemode.aspx – I could have sworn this wasn’t available 12 months ago….

I love this stuff, but I have not yet found anyone who can tell me where to put this type of code. I tried putting it on a custom newform.aspx page, but that did not work. I am guessing this goes in a webpart maybe? I just can not find a full example of where to put it.

The available fields depends on the DataSourceMode property. For ListItem, List and CrossList modes, the available fields depend on the list columns; for ListOfLists and Webs, a complete list of fields is available here: http://solutionizing.net/spdatasource-fields-for-webs-listsoflists/.

In the case of this SPGridView, the datasource is in Webs mode, with __spUrl returning the SPWeb.Url property, __spTitle returning SPWeb.Title, etc.

Where are you getting the values __spUrl, __spID, __spTitle and __spCreated From?

Are these hidden Fields or variables you’ve defined?
