My details view is in insert mode and my dataset is empty but the details
view doesnt show..

not sure how to toss this at MS but i think they should code that if its in
insert mode the empty dataset doesnt make it invisible..

You can provide a <EmptyDataTemplate> for when the DetailsView has nothing
to show.

yes but doesn't that mean I still have to code all the insert stuff? sort of
defeats the purpose of the "codeless" idea MS has for this don't you think?

also how would I go about coding this? do I have to go as far as creating a
text box for the fields and doing the insert manually with a
dataset/connection? or is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Thanks
Justin
