pre-populated value in FormView Insert By Default - asp.net

Question

I am new to ASP.NET
ERROR: "The FormView 'FormView1' fired event ItemInserting which wasn't handled. "
I have a FormView that set to Insert Mode when the page first initially loaded. I also want to pre-populated the values in those input textboxes and dropdownlists. So I was able to make it works by using the code behind and write the values to those boxes, but when I click "Insert" LinkButton, it give me that error.
Here is my FormView codes:
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" DefaultMode="Insert" runat="server"
DateSourceID="dsApprovedCreateNew"
DataKeyNames="ApprovedID"

You can also use the DataBound event:
protected void FormView1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert)
{
var textBox = (TextBox) FormView1.FindControl("MyTextBox");
textBox.Text = "Default Value";
}
}
