I have a DetailsView for Insert and Edits which I pass custID parameter by Querystring. &nbsp;I need the DetailsView to go into Edit mode if a record is returned for this customer from the db and if not, I need it to go into Insert mode. &nbsp;I'm using ASP.Net 2.0 - there must be an easy way to do this surely?
