How to instruct ObjectDataSource to match form parameter with method parameter - asp.net

Question

When working with ObjectDataSource I have following select:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("InceptionCycle.ID") %>' ID="InceptionCycle"
DataSourceID="odsAllCycles" DataTextField="CycleName" DataValueField="ID" AppendDataBoundItems="true">
<asp:ListItem Text="Choose..." Value=""></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
and ObjectDataSource configured with UpdateMethod and InsertMethod. However insert/update methods have parameters with InceptionCycle name (because InceptionCycle.ID is not valid identifier).
Is there a way to instruct ObjectDataSource to take InceptionCycle.ID form parameter and place in as InceptionCycle method parameter?
Here's full ObjectDataSource code:
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ods" runat="server" TypeName="Sources.DomainSource"
SelectMethod="FindById" InsertMethod="Add" UpdateMethod="Update"
OnInserted="ods_Inserted" OnUpdated="ods_Updated">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="id" QueryStringField="id" />
</SelectParameters>
<InsertParameters>
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="ShortTitle" />
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="WMRId" />
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="MDSId" />
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="Status" />
</InsertParameters>
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="id" QueryStringField="id" />
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="ShortTitle" />
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="WMRId" />
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="MDSId" />
<asp:Parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" Name="Status" />
</UpdateParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

You can only use the Bind syntax with a top level property - it doesn't support nested properties (VS 2012 will, though).
So, you should create a new property on your data source like below and bind the SelectedValue to this new property instead
public string InceptionCycleID
{
get
{
return InceptionCycle.ID;
}
set
{
InceptionCycle.ID = value;
}
}
