How to reset input data on detailsview, after error on insert

[jparlato]

I'm using the detailsview to perform edit and insert of new records via an
object datasource.
If an error occurs on the insert, I want to preserve the data the operator
tried to input, along with my error messages. Currently, it appears that the
detailsview is trying to rebind after the error, to the empty/null detail
item(on insert it is null), and thus I lose all the operator's input. Can
someone suggest the proper way for me to achieve the persistence I'm looking
for? Thanks.

By the way, the error is being detected on the server not client side.... I
just wanted to explain that point.

The error is being detected server side....

What I was hoping, is that there is some way to cancel the re-binding of the
detailview, after an error is detected... Have not found a way to do it.
