Setting flield values with CRUD operations

[zanekevin]

I am using the  <telerik:RadDataForm.EditTemplate> and <telerik:RadDataForm.NewItemTemplate>.
I would like to set a couple of fields (MODIFIED_BY/TIMESTAMP) to the system date and modified_by user in the code behind before I do a DomainDataSource.SubmitChanges.
I was thinking it would be in the event EditEnded to set the current record being edit to the updated time stamp.
This is not that hard. Seems that I am just plexed in Silverlight/WCF RIA Services.
Mayby I am still thinking asp.net

Hi Zanekevin,

Please, refer to this demo. It illustrates utilization of RadDataForm with RIA and RadDomainDataSource. I think it might prove useful to you. Please, do not hesitate to contact us immediately if any further inquires occur.

All the best,

I did see this DEMO. I does not address the issue of setting a EDIT CurrentItem to a default value, so the User on the Client does not enter the data.

But Still confused on how to set a couple of fields values on UPDATING OR INSERTING data using the RadDataForm in the CODE BEHIND Events of the ADD/EDIT of the RadDataForm.

From my Entity (bottom) CurrentItem the two fields that the user will not Add or Edit would be the 'MODIFIED_BY' and 'TIME_STAMP', Iwould like to set field values before a DomainDataService.SubmitChanges()

My thoughts on how this works in a sample below is:

private RadDataForm_EndEditing(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.EditEventsArgs e)
{
    MyRadDataForm.[MODIFIED_BY] = 'John Doe';
    MyRadDataForm.[TIME_STAMP] = DateTime.now();
    DomainDataService.SubmitChanges();

    OR

    MyRadDataForm.CurrentItem.MODIFIED_BY = ' = 'John Doe';
    MyRadDataForm.CurrentItem.TIME_STAMP = DateTime.now();
    DomainDataService.SubmitChanges();
}

/* Entity */
