Newbie Question: saving form data to sql

[Guest]

Hey folks I'm reletivly new to ASP.Net and Visual studio. I have VS2005
Standard edition and I'm currently working on my own web site with it.

What I want to do and I can actually see myself doing this in a lot of
different scenerios. is create a form where the user can enter information
and when they submit the form they save the data to the sql database as a new
record. I know theres Form view that seems similar to what I want to do but I
find that it pulls existing records (which I don't want) I want the form to
save a new record(insert).

if i have to hand write this to wire up the textbox, checkboxes etc controls
that make up the form fields using the existing datasource that I created
using the sqldatasource control can anyone explain or point me to a good link
that would explain how to do this?

If you just want an insert form, you can set the Default Mode property to
insert for a FormView. If you prefer to do it programmatically you can use
the ChangeMode method of the Form View to put it in insert mode when you
choose.

There is also a details view that will allow you to put buttons that, in
addition to the options above for FormView, will allow you to add edit,
delete, or insert record buttons into a form with no code.
