Add onclick event to command field in asp.net DetailsView

Question

I have this command field in DetailsView.

<asp:CommandField ShowInsertButton="True" CancelText="Reset" />

When user click this link, it inserts the user filled data in DetailsView into database. But I want to set text to two text boxes in this DetailsView before inserting. I can do it in code behind. I have tried this by adding OnItemInserting event to DetailsView. But it's not working. Data set in code behind not inserted to database.

code behind

protected void ABC_DV_ItemInserting(Object sender, DetailsViewInsertEventArgs e)
        {

  TextBox p = (TextBox)LKArea_DV.FindControl("txt_p");

  TextBox x= (TextBox)ABC_DV.FindControl("txt_x");
  TextBox y= (TextBox)ABC_DV.FindControl("txt_y");

  string[] q = p.Text.Trim().Split(',');

  x.Text = q[0];
  y.Text = q[1];

       }

How could I do this?

@karthi i have tried it. but not working. text box data i have set in code behind, not in database table after inserting. — Bishan

Use ItemCommand Event

Get Controls like Textbox from your DetailView control.
Check if they are NULL
If not null then grab the values
Perform Insert , update any operation you like
Commit the changes
Rebind your control

It should work. hope that helps
