Default Values from datasource in Insert Item Template

[Dave]

I have a RadListView that I use to insert data into a SQL table.  Below is a snippet of the Insert Item template 
I have a text box with the ID ScheduleTextBox that is bound to an insert parameter Schedule
 I need to be able to populate the text in this text box from another datasource.
How can I do this?????



Thanks for any help!

Dave

Hi Dave,

You could directly access the textbox inside the Edit or Insert template when the listview enters edit mode, get the value from somewhere else and set it as Text. You can see how controls inside RadListView are accessed in the different templates and modes here:
