[Solved] Update en Insert extra field

[Rik]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with my grid. I want to fill or edit a extra database field that is not shown in de datagrid or editform.
I'm using a linq datasource.
Is this possible?

thanks in advance..

Hello Rik,

You could probably create your own CustomEditForm wherein you can add any number of fields although those are not displayed on the grid. Check out the following online demo and help document which will explain this better:
Form Template Edit Form
Custom edit forms

Hope this helps...

I'm sorry but,i dont need a custom form because i don't want the user to fill in the value for this field, for example
if a user insert or edit a record i want te save the Date in a database field.

So can i programmaticly add a field and a value in the automatic created Insert or update Query ??

Hello,

If you want to save the modified date in database, then one suggestion would be using TIMESTAMP datatype in table.

If you want to set the update/insert parameter programatically, then you could create event handlers for the Updating / Inserting events for LinqDataSource control. In the handler, you can set a value before the data operation starts.

Thanks, but isn't it a very difficult way to insert or update a extra field. I expected a much more simple solution.
