{
System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary listDictionary
= new System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary();
listDictionary.Add("ProductName", TextBox1.Text);
listDictionary.Add("ProductCategory", "General");
listDictionary.Add("Color", "Not assigned");
listDictionary.Add("ListPrice", null);
LinqDataSource1.Insert(listDictionary);
TextBox1.Text = String.Empty;
DetailsView1.DataBind();
}
Protected Sub Add_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim listDictionary As New System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary()
listDictionary.Add("ProductName", TextBox1.Text)
listDictionary.Add("ProductCategory", "General")
listDictionary.Add("Color", "Not assigned")
listDictionary.Add("ListPrice", Nothing)
LinqDataSource1.Insert(listDictionary)
TextBox1.Text = String.Empty
DetailsView1.DataBind()
End Sub

Remarks
Typically, you do not have to call the Insert method from your code. The data-bound control will automatically call the Insert method when the user takes action to insert a new record. You explicitly call the Insert method when you want to create your own process for inserting data.
