I have created a aspx page which contains a formview with the state set to
"insert", I prepopulate some of the data as seen below and this is visible
on the form.
The information appears on the form but when I view the post via sql
profilter , the data that was "created" from the eval is null?

SQL server 2003
vs 2005
.net framework 2.0

code snippet from aspx page

           <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="by User" SortExpression="lastid">
               <EditItemTemplate>
                   <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox4" runat="server" Text='<%#
Setid(Eval("lastid")) %>'></asp:TextBox>
               </EditItemTemplate>
               <ItemTemplate>
                   <asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("lastid") %>'></asp:Label>
               </ItemTemplate>
           </asp:TemplateField>

VB backend code

   Public Function setid(ByVal itemtype As Object) As Object
       Return "test"
   End Function

sql snippet value passed to storedprocedure

@lastid = NULL
