DataGrid and SPList

I have a dataGrid that is databinded to a sharepoint List. I have
written a
ItemCommand event to capture datagrid click and then I try to add
datagrid selected row values to SPEventsList. See this:
'// this is in some method
mydg.datasource = dataset
mydg.databind()

'//This is the method where I update the Events List
ItemCommand_Event(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e as
DataGridCommandEventArgs)
// I open SPEventsList called _myList, then

Dim item As SPListItem = _myList.Add

item("XYZ") = "Testing"
item("ABC") = e.Item.Index.ToString

Everything works fine. The Word Testing adds to the EventsList
but there is another look-up field in SPEventsList (here "ABC").
Now, when I try to update ABC get an error saying you can';t update a
look up field. How, do I get rid of this. I also tried to explicitly
assign the
value by doing
item("ABC")=myDG.SelectedItem.toString
but this does not work either.

Thank you very much
