ASPxGridView Screencast: Initializing New Rows

Hi Mehul,

I am very interested to watch this video, but I am having some kind of problem...after the first 15 seconds it starts echoing a strange noise, and sometimes it gets almost impossible to understand what the voice says...

Could you take a look to see if you have the same issue there?

Mehul:

The more I dive into the components, the more I love them. You and the team are doing a great job. I've found the screen casts and tutorials to be especially helpful.

After watching the "Initializing New Rows" screencast, I'm having difficulty setting default values for fields in an ASPXGridView that is inside an ASPxCallbackPanel. The edit form mode is PopupEditForm and uses an EditForm template.  I'm unable to set the field values by setting either of following:

e.NewValues("field_name") = value

OR

e.NewValues("control_name") = value

I know that the event handler is firing when debugging it. Any thoughts or examples?

Thanks,

Mike

I am using an ObjectDataSource and I wonder why I should declare in yet another place my set of default values. I did it when I declared my class, I did it at the database level - now I have to do it at the grid level. More than this, I have to do it every time I build a grid using that object.

An obvious way is to initialize the new row based on an object created using the default constructor, isn't it?
