What is the best way to go about storing original textbox values, so that when a user changes them, I can compare the two and run the correct SQL statement?

Example:

select case newval

case 0

  delete statement

case else

  if oldval>0 then

     update statement

  else

     insert statement

  end if

end select

I have the record key and newval values, I just need oldval. I've read some about storing them when the listview is bound to the data, but I seemed to be only storing zeroes, which probably means that I was storing the pre-bound value. I tried to use the OnDataBound event to store textbox.text in oldval. What should I do? What are some ways to do this?

 Hi,

you can use hidden variable to store old values, you can access from server side too.

<input type="hidden" id="hdata" runat="server"/>

Thanks :)

 Thanks, that worked perfectly.
