Hi,
I have a DetailsView that is bound to an ObjectDataSource that pulls data from a Business class.
<asp:DetailsView ID="dvwForum" runat="server" AutoGenerateRows="False" DataSourceID="objCurrForum" DataKeyNames="ID" OnItemCreated="dvwForum_ItemCreated" DefaultMode="Insert" >
<FieldHeaderStyle Width="100px" />
<Fields>
....................................
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Forum Access Rights">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="rolesDDL" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
.............................................................
</Fields>
</asp:DetailsView>
The DetailViews OnItemCreated event calls dvwForum_ItemCreated that checks to see if in InsertMode and if so populates the drop dwon list with all the current Roles. Go to the complete details ...
