[Solved] Setting default value in inserted row

[Roel]

Hi,

I am trying to set a default value in a textbox when a new row is inserted in the grid. 
I tried the code below, but that never passes the condition of the if-statement.. I am using the standard in-line editing.
 

Protected Sub gridActivities_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles gridActivities.ItemDataBound
    If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditFormInsertItem) AndAlso (gridActivities.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted) Then
        Dim insertItem As GridEditFormInsertItem = CType(e.Item, GridEditFormInsertItem)
        'getting the Textbox in the insert form using it's UniqueName
        Dim txbCategoryID As TextBox = CType(insertItem("intCategory").Controls(0), TextBox)    
        txbCategoryID.Text = Request.QueryString("Category")
    End If
End Sub

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Roel,

When using inline editing you should be checking the type of e.Item for GirdDataInsertItem. For an alternative solution you can check this help topic:

Hope this helps.
