Open form to insert new record.
I have a gridview on a form that displays records. Next to each record is a Edit button. When this button is clicked, another form pops up to allow editing of that record. The form that pops up is another asp.net form with a asp:FormView control on it to display a record. I would like to have another button outside of the gridview that will open up the same popup form to insert a new record. So the popup form needs to open up to blank fields. The formview on that form has the EditItemTemplate, ItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplate on it. By defualt I set it to open up in Edit Mode. How can I get my button to open it in Insert Mode? Thanks.
Hello, you can use the FormView.DefaultMode property to accomplish that, example:
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DefaultMode="Insert">
.....
</asp:FormView>ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

Glad to help
the method looks like this:protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(obje
{
TextBox txtName = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.
TextBox txtCity = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.
//Your updation query pass the values like set city=' "+txtCity.Text+" '
GridView1.EditIndex = -1; //converts to normal mode from edit mode
// If having any bind method call here to see the updated rows
BindData();//(in this method write binding datasource to GridView1)
}
