Set DefaultInsertValue

[Lukus]

Is there a way for me to set DefaultInsertValue of a column either with server-side or javascript?  I want to put a variable into this property.

Hello Lukus,

Try the following snippet code by attaching ItemDataBound  event to your RadGrid. Hope this helps you.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if ((e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem) && (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted))
       {
           GridEditFormInsertItem insertItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
           TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)insertItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
           txtbx.Text = "Your Text";
       }
   }
