CS

protected void FlowItemDataSource_Inserted(object sender, Microsoft.AspNet.EntityDataSource.EntityDataSourceChangedEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Entity is FlowEntity)
        lastInsertedId = ((FlowEntity)e.Entity).ID;
}

protected void Diagram_ItemInserted(object sender, DevExpress.Web.ASPxDiagram.DiagramItemInsertedEventArgs e) {
    e.KeyValue = lastInsertedId;
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub FlowItemDataSource_Inserted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.AspNet.EntityDataSource.EntityDataSourceChangedEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Entity Is FlowEntity Then lastInsertedId = (CType(e.Entity, FlowEntity)).ID
End Sub

Protected Sub Diagram_ItemInserted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.Web.ASPxDiagram.DiagramItemInsertedEventArgs)
    e.KeyValue = lastInsertedId
