Default values on a databound form

I have an access table Vehicles. There is a field Purchase Price, which has
a default value of zero.
In my databound form, I didn't include the purchase price. Now when I save,
the PurchasePrice is null. Likewise for other fields that were not on the
form.

How do I prevent vb.net from over writing the default values?
Thanks

Hi,

Any default values you set in access are not transfered to your
dataset. I would set the datacolumns default value.

ds.Tables("Empl oyees").Columns .Item("Price"). DefaultValue = 0

Vayse,

Use for this kind of operations the binding events.

You see them in use in the bottom of this sample on our website

I hope this helps,

I have read the following article http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/073101-1.shtml. I added the empty selection as the first option. When I click submit without choosing anything it does not return my empty string but the 2nd value in listbox. When the page reloads it selects the 2nd option by default even thou my Empty field is in the list. What do I have to do to get the empty field and databound data to act as one?

I have a databound dropdown in my page. I want to make one of the values the default value. Any ideas? Just to explain further, I have also appended one item to the dropdown, using the AppendDataBoundItems="True" property of the dropdown. Unfortunately the item I have appended to the dropdown has become the default value of the dropdown list which is not what I want. Kind regards,

Hi all, I'm having an issue that's driving me crazy. I have a datatable that I need to display all the information for on a page. So, instead of manually coding every single column to a label, I decided it would be easier and safer to use a formview to display it all, bound to an objectdatasource. Sounds simple enough. The problem is that many of my fields could potentially have null values, which produces an error similar to the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
