Hello Ugo,

You could set the DefaultInsertValue property to the desired value.
aspx:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Area"  HeaderText="Area"  DefaultInsertValue="3000" />

Thanks,

Thanks shinu,
But is not at design time, i want it at run time.
i want when someone clicks add new record on top of the grid then a pop up insert form appears and the first column set to 3000 by default

Hello Ugo,

You can try the following code snippet to achieve your scenario.
aspx:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmployeeID" HeaderText="EmployeeID" UniqueName="EmployeeID">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound1(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
     if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
       {
           GridEditFormInsertItem edititem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
           TextBox txt1 = (TextBox)edititem["EmployeeID"].Controls[0];
           txt1.Text = "DefaultValue";
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.
