Populate foreign key in InsertTemplate of FormView

[Miraj Haq]

Hello all,

How would I populate a foreign key value in a label field of a FormView when
FormView changes mode to Insert? So that I can insert foreign key.

Explanation:
Suppose there are two tables in database, EMPLOYEE (list of employees) and
EMPLOYEE_DOCS (list of documents of every employee). table EMPLOYEE_DOCS
have a foreign key field EMPLOYEE_ID. When I use FormView's Insert mode for
EMPLOYEE_DOCS, I want to to explicitly take foreign key, so that it wont go
blank when inserting in database or user wont need to type it. I have
everything in Panels (webcontrol)

Thank you for help.

Thanks all, I figured out

I did this:

Protected Sub FormView1_ItemInserting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewInsertEventArgs) Handles
FormView1.ItemInserting

e.Values("EMPLOYEE_ID") =
GridView1.Rows(GridView1.SelectedIndex).Cells(1).Text ' cells(1).text is the
foreign key

End Sub
