Form View edit issues with DataItemCount and DataBind()

I tried to check a Form View to see if it had DataItemCount at load but it always came back false.

if (fvPetitionStatus.DataItemCount == 0)
       {
          pnlAddPetitionStatus.Visible = true;
       }
else
       {
           pnlAddPetitionStatus.Visible = false;
       }

Open in new window

I read that I could do a databind first so I used fvPetitionStatus.DataBind(); on page load prior to checking for the DataItemCount.

Then after after adding the databind, I had problems with editing the form view data through the aspx page. When I don't use the databind, the form Form View object is editable without any issues.

I'm using Linq to connect to SQL 2012 and c#. Also running Visual Studio 2012.

Thank you for looking at this.
