I have a details view on my page which is linked to linq datasource.  there is foreign key field in my table which I am not showing in the details view. I would like set that foreign key to value x when inserting a new record.  how can do this.

Hi:
  You can modify the value in Inserting event handler

     protected void DetailsView2_ItemInserting(object sender, DetailsViewInsertEventArgs e)
        {
            //e.Values["field_name"]
        }

Regards

Thank you Allen.  it  works perfectly.  I didn't think the Values would be all fields... but thanks.
