default value on detailview insert mode

[vcllvc]

I have a asp.net 2.0 detailView control, and I want to set a default value for the insert mode. I'd converted the row into a template row and set the textbox.text with a default value, however, when I hit the insert button, the page throw an exception.It says the value is null.

Does anyone know how to set a default value in detailview for the insert mode?

I'd converted the row into a template row

How did you do this?

oh, sorry,

I converted the "Column" into a "template Column"

Try something like this:

Protected Sub DetailsView1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DetailsView1.ItemCreated
If DetailsView1.CurrentMode = DetailsViewMode.Insert Then
   Dim tb As New TextBox
   ''You need to know the correct index of the row.
   tb = CType(DetailsView1.Rows(1).FindControl("YourTextBox", TextBox)
   tb.Text = "Default Value"
End If
End Sub
