Does this help?

protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserting(object sender,
DetailsViewInsertEventArgs e)

{

string newcat = (string)e.Values["catA"];


if ((newcat == null) || (newcat == ""))

{

LabelFeedback.Text = "Please enter a new category to insert";

e.Cancel = true;

return;

}

// check if this insert already exists:

// 1. copy the items in the Rows collection into an array.

GridView gv = GridView1;

int idx = gv.SelectedIndex;

GridViewRow gvw = gv.SelectedRow;

GridViewRow[] rowArray = new GridViewRow[gv.Rows.Count];

gv.Rows.CopyTo(rowArray, 0);

// 2. iterate though the array and display the value in the first cell of
the row.

int j = -1;

foreach (GridViewRow row in rowArray)

{

j++;

if (newcat == row.Cells[2].Text)

{

LabelFeedback.Text = "This category already exists";

e.Cancel = true;

break;

}

}

// if all ok to go, insert the trimmed value:

e.Values["catA"] = newcat;
