[Dave]

How can I set the Value of a Textbox that resides in a FormView Insert
Template?

Thanks

Hi Dave,
If you are bounding controls in FormView InsertItemTemplate, then
you need to manipulate the control content in PreRender method. You
cannot set the textbox value in Page_Load event.

1. Attach the PreRender event for FormView Control.
2. Find the control you are looking for.
3. If the control is present, set the value.


protected void FormView1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Control ctrl =
this.FormView1.FindControl("CompanyNameInsertInsertItemTextBox");
TextBox txt = ctrl as TextBox;
if (txt != null)
{
txt.Text = "Hai"; //Set like this.
}
}

There may be better way(s) than this. I hope it may help you.
