Hi,



Orders

Id

OrderDate

ItemId

OrderStatusTypeId



OrderStatusTypes

Id

Name



Can someone explain a decent way to handle setting a default value for a field that contains the ID of a value in a lookup table?



One way I was considering was in the SetDefaultValues() event handler, creating a temporary LookupBO and using that to get the value based on the name of the value I want as the default.



Or would it be better to do an "this.ExecuteScalar(...)" to get the value I need?



Thank You

I do know what the default values name should be, but I want to get the value OrderStatusType.Id from the database rather than hardcoding it.



So I was going to do something like this...
