[Solved] How to set the value of cell before update fires

[Mark Breen]

Hello All,

I have the IP address of the user and I want to set one of the columns in the data source of the grid.  In Pseudo code, I want to achieve the following

MyGrid . RowBeingUpdated . Column ("IPAddress).Value = "192.168.1.1";

Could someone advise which event I should use and the syntax to update the cell value.  I have tried to get it working with DataKeyValues, but am not familiar enough yet to get it working.

I have included below the code that I used with the VS2008 default grid, and it works fine for that control.

Thanks in advance, 

Mark Breen

        {

            BoatBuilder oRec = (BoatBuilder)e.NewObject; //This is my LINQtoSQL data source

            oRec.CreatedOnDate = DateTime.Now;

            oRec.CreatedByIPAddress = GetIPAddress();

        }
