DetailsView insert and edit

[sandylou]

I have a gridview which when selected will populate a detialsview. The problem I am running into is that I am using code behind to load my gridview and detailsview by accessing a stored procedure and filling a datalist. I have the gridview working. In the detailsview though, I can not access the properties within. I am not using an asp.sqldatasource or objectdatasource. How can I find the properties within that detailsview from code behind? I do not want to use an SqlDataSource or ObjectDataSource.

FOr example

<asp:DetailsView Width="45%"  HeaderStyle-CssClass="header" OnItemCommand="doInsert"
    HorizontalAlign="Right" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" HeaderText="Union Code Maintenance" 
    Visible="false"  DataKeyNames="vchCode1" AutoGenerateRows="false" id="dvwCodes" runat="server" >
    <Fields>
    <asp:BoundField DataField="vchCode1" HeaderText=" Code Primary" />
    <asp:BoundField DataField="vchCode2" HeaderText=" Code Secondary" />
    <asp:BoundField DataField="vchBinder" HeaderText="Binder Number" />
    
    
    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lblStatus" runat="server" Text='<%Eval("vchStatus") %>'/>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlStatus" runat="server"  >
             <asp:ListItem Value="A">A</asp:ListItem>
             <asp:ListItem Value="I">I</asp:ListItem>
        </asp:DropDownList>
    </EditItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>
    <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="true" ShowInsertButton="true"  ButtonType="Button"  ShowCancelButton="true"   />
    
    </Fields>
    
    </asp:DetailsView>
[code]

I want to call a separate insert/update and get the values.  I can find the values of the bound fields, but not of the ddl which is not bound.

What exactly do you mean by this? What are you trying to do?
