How to explain when FormView is a good approach for CRUD functions

For web application development, how does one go about explaining whether or not using FormView would be a good control to use for CRUD funtions?

I am thinking that as long as the edit controls have minimum interaction with each other and also have simple validation using asp.net validation controls, FormView would be a great tool.

But I have limited experience in using it. My examples to this point have been quite simple.

Can someone please offer words of wisdom in this area? Thank you!

Thank you. I guess what I am trying to get at is this...FormView is template driven, so there are limitations to the actions you can add to it. Unless you have a strong set of Javascript skills, a page with controls that have lots of interactivity between them might not be a good candidate for the FormView control.

Would you agree? Please keep in mind that I am a newbie with this.

Ok. That helps. Especially the point about the gv being a table.
Thank you!
