Retrieving fields with default values in ASP.NET 2.0 in Postback

[cjbland]

First off I apologize if this has been discussed before, I'm not
certain how to search for what I'm looking for so I figured I'd throw
this out there and see what I got.

I am working with a DetailsView (Insert mode) in ASP.NET 2.0 and one of
the fields I give a default value.

<asp:DetailsVie w ....>
<asp:TemplateFi eld HeaderText="Dat e Entered"
SortExpression= "d_entered" >
<InsertItemTemp late>
<asp:TextBox ID="DateEntered " name="DateEnter ed" Text='<%# DateTime.Now
%>' ReadOnly="false " runat="server" />
</InsertItemTempl ate
</asp:TemplateFie ld>
.........
</asp:DetailsView >

When I click the insert button all of the values of my form are
returned except for the date entered. I viewed the source of my main
page and all of my other inputs have an id of "DetailsView1$c tl0x"
where x is a number. The ID for my date field is
"DetailsView1$D ateEntered".

In my debugging I've created a few labels and I am setting them via:

protected void DetailsView1_It emInserting(Obj ect sender,
DetailsViewInse rtEventArgs e)
{
a.Text = e.Values["serial_no"].ToString();
b.Text = e.Values["barcode"].ToString();
c.Text = e.Values["DateEntere d"].ToString();
}

The page errors on the "c.Text = ..." line and it says that
"DateEntere d" doesn't exist. I am obviously missing something here,
does any one have any input? Thanks in advance.
