InsertParameters Question

I'm 100% new to ASP.net - I've only ever used ASP Classic and haven't really worked with websites in a long time - but a higher up in my company has decided that he wants a website built exclusively using ASP.net - so I was told that I have 3 months to learn it. I'm going CRAZY!

I can get everything to work that is simple drag and drop but when I try to do anything outside of the templates or wizards to customize the site to what I need it to do exceptions are thrown up.

The site will be a sort of file archive for our company where anyone with basic admin rights can upload documents and files for other users to download when needed across the whole company.

The listView insert option auto generates a form to insert a new record -UserName, FileName, UploadDate, Description, etc... But I only want the user to input the Description and the file upload option - I want the other information such as UserName to be inserted automatically.

How is this accomplished? I know this is kind of vague at this point but I don't even know if I'm asking the question right honestly.

Hi there,

Take a look at the exercise on page 464; it shows you how to do this with a DetailsView, but the same concepts apply to a ListView.

Page 516 then shows you how to store uploaded files on disk.

Cheers,

I'm gonna work through this real quick - if you don't mind I'll probably have a few more questions before it's all said and done. Thank you very much.
