Can anyone help. I am using a formview in VS 2005. I have different elements in my form databound to a database and I am performing an INSERT SQL statement. No problem. The problem is that I am trying to enter the current date into the SQL statement and I am having a problem.

I can add <%now()%> to the "Text" property of the asp:Textbox. But when I do, then I can't bind the textbox to a specific database column.

How do I do both????

I can do this:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Initiate_Date") %>' ></asp:TextBox>

Or this:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# now() %>' ></asp:TextBox>

But I don't know how to do both.
