When you create a new object data source and you point it to a class, have you noticed the checkbox next to the dropdown that says only show data components? There is an easy way to make your classes show up if that is checked. Here's how:

[DataObjectAttribute]
public class MyDataClass
{   

// optionally give a method type
[DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Select, true)]
  public static List GetAllPeople()
  {
// return your data
}
}
