copied!<p>It is possible to do an insert from the EmptyDataTemplate by handcrafting the insert. I am using a listview to display a static number of rows based on a unique filtered item. I am basically listing all the static attributes of an object. In the case where a new object is filtered on that does not have any attributes associated with it, i use the EmptyDataTemplate of the listview to display a HTMLTable that contains asp.net controls to capture data. I have a command button within the table that i evaluate using the ListView_ItemCommand. If the CommandName matches that of the "Insert" button within the EmptyDataItem, I use the ListView.Controls(0).FindControl method to locate my table. I then loop through my table and do inserts on the data found within each row. I included the how to find a control within the htmltable. In my code I am actually grabbing a bunch of controls then crafting the sql and using a SQLConnection to perform the insert.</p> <pre><code>Protected Sub ListView_ItemCommand(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListViewCommandEventArgs) Handles ListView.ItemCommand Select Case e.CommandName Case "Submit" Dim edt As HtmlTable = ListView.Controls(0).FindControl("myhtmltable") Dim ddl As DropDownList = CType(edt.FindControl("mydropdownlist"), DropDownList) 'Perform Insert Case "Some other commandname" End Select End Sub </code></pre> <p>You will need to still do error checking and databind() and refresh your listview.</p> <p>Is this the best way. Maybe not... But it is possible.</p> <p>~Ian</p>
