enter a default value for null

[harry]

Using aspnet20 csharp, I have a simple data entry screen that inserts
submitted values to a database. I want a default value to be submitted if no
value is entered in a textbox.

Thanks

Set a default in the database.

Yea, I did that, however:
newAnswer.Ques1 = Convert.ToInt16(txtQues1.Text);

throws an exception if nothing is entered.

I assume the answer is to pass everything through a validation method and
set a default there. I was hoping there was a way to set that property
without doing that.

You should check on the client, before sending to the server.

And also check on the server.
