Howdy,
Sorry, i meant handling objectdatasource events, of course if you use
formview in conjunction with any datasource control, if not i can't really
see the posint of using FormView for edit/insert operations. I prepared a
simple example:
-- begin aspx code --
<script runat="server">
private void SetPersonInaccessibleDetails(Person person)
{
if (person == null)
throw new NullReferenceException("person");
TextBox textBox = (TextBox)fv.FindControl("FirstNameTextBox");
person.Name.FirstName = textBox.Text;
textBox = (TextBox)fv.FindControl("LastNameTextBox");
person.Name.LastName = textBox.Text;
}
protected void ds_Inserting(object sender, ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs
e)
{
SetPersonInaccessibleDetails((Person)e.InputParameters[0]);
}
protected void ds_Updating(object sender, ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs e)
{
SetPersonInaccessibleDetails((Person)e.InputParameters[0]);
}
</script>
<asp:ObjectDataSource runat="server" ID="ds"
TypeName="PersonManager"
SelectMethod="Get" DataObjectTypeName="Person"
UpdateMethod="Update" InsertMethod="Insert"
OnInserting="ds_Inserting" OnUpdating="ds_Updating">
<SelectParameters>
<asp
arameter Name="id" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
<asp:FormView runat="server" ID="fv"
DefaultMode="Insert"
DataSourceID="ds"
DataKeyNames="Id">
<InsertItemTemplate>
Age:
<asp:TextBox ID="AgeTextBox" runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("Age") %>'>

First Name:
<asp:TextBox ID="FirstNameTextBox" runat="server">
</asp:TextBox><br />

<asp:TextBox ID="LastNameTextBox" runat="server">
</asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server"

</asp:TextBox><br />
Last Name:
<asp:TextBox ID="LastNameTextBox" runat="server"

<asp:Label ID="NameLabel" runat="server"

<asp:LinkButton ID="NewButton" runat="server"

Text="New">

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>

Thanks for your responses they have been great help.
i have got everything to work so far but i am a bit confused as to where i
should put the event handeling you were discussing earlier about the update
and insert parameters when using Eval?
"So you if go for Eval, you will end up handling FormView's events to set
insertparameters or updateparanmeters manually.
"
How do i make sure that my code only gets executed not the formviews default
handeling?
Thanks
