2-way DataBinding using separate usercontrols as forms for edit/insert

[Tyler]

I've searched your site and the web for days and cannot find an answer to this.  I have a RadGrid with a detail table (GridTableView).  My detail table has an edit column that I want to use to update my database via the updatestatement from the sqldatasource.  I also want to be able to insert new records in my detail table, but using a different form for inserts.  Per your site, I have created two user controls (ascx files) that have each of my forms for inserting and updating, and am able to display the correct one when clicking the appropriate link.  My problem is that when I click the respective submit button, the values passed via my updateparameters or insertparameters to the updatestatment and insertstatment of my sqldatasource are all null.  I have implemented the global dataitem in my usercontrol, and am able to display values on the usercontrols using the <#% Bind() %> syntax, however it appears to be a one-way binding.  How can I configure the usercontrol to bind 2-way so that the update and insert commands of the sqldatasource work properly?  Every work around I've seen requires a bunch of code and handling of events like needdatasource.  This seems like it should be simple as I just need to get the values from my form to my parameters passed to my sqldatasource.  If I implement one form as a template I can get it to work, but how do I do it using seperate usercontrols and also using sqldatasource as my datasource?
