Go directly to edit mode in formview?

Hello WebControl group,

Is there a way I can go direct from clicking the "details" link in a
gridview (which, in my case opens/displays a formview) to have my
formview open direct to the edit mode, bypassing the itemtemplate?

I have a gridview, and use the "details" link button which can open the
Itemtemplate in my formview compenent. I would like to skip the
itemtemplate and go direct to editing (update, cancel, delete).

I am using Visual Studio 2005, and SQL 2005.

Thanks,

eric

Hello Eric,

Yes, the FormView has a method named ChangeMode that allows you to switch
the view to the specified data-entry mode, e.g.
FormView1.ChangeMode (FormViewMode.Edit)
