Need to write value of session variable to SQL record

Each user who inserts a new SQL record from the FormView control needs to have their UserID in one of the fields of the record. I have the user ID stored in the Session("UserID") variable. I am having trouble finding the right way to get this done. I have tried using a hidden text box but I can't seem to assign the value. I have tried the Insert Parameters but that will not accept <%# Session("UserID") %> as a DefaultValue. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

Try handling the ItemInserting event of your FormView where you can programmatically set the SqlDataSource.DefaultValue to your Session variable value. For example:

protected void FormView1_ItemInserting(object sender, FormViewInsertEventArgs e)
{
SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["UserID"].DefaultValue = Session["UserID"].ToString();
}|||Worked great with "(" instead of brackets "[". Thanks!|||I'm glad it worked out. My example was in C#. I guess you needed VB sample instead.|||You could of also created a SessionParameter and done it without any code at all.|||
