Manually perform server inserts

[Michael]

My RadScheduler is bound to a LinqDataProvider and automatically inserts, updateds and deleted appointments.  Is there a way to perform inserts manually via a server side event?  I have a custom field that I would like saved with each appointment which never needs editing.  Thanks.

Hi Michael,

To add custom field, which does not need editing you may try to use InsertParameters:

<asp:LinqDataSource
  ContextTypeName="ExampleDataContext"
  TableName="Products"
  EnableUpdate="true"
  EnableInsert="true"
  EnableDelete="true"
  ID="LinqDataSource1"
  runat="server">
  <InsertParameters>
    <asp:Parameter Name="Category" DefaultValue="Miscellaneous" />
  </InsertParameters>
</asp:LinqDataSource>

or set the value programmatically in the LinqDataSource's inserting event. For more details, please take a look at this MSDN help article.

That worked perfectly.  Thank you for your help!
