DetailsView won't enter Edit mode?

[=?Utf-8?B?RGF2ZQ==?=]

When I click the "Edit" hyperlink, my DetailsView doesn't enter Edit mode.
It will if I set the DefaultMode="Ed it". Any thoughts? Thanks.

<asp:DetailsVie w ID="DetailsView 1" DataKeyNames="T opicId" runat="server"
Height="50px" Width="547px" AutoGenerateEdi tButton=true
OnModeChanging= "DetailsView1_M odeChanging"
OnPageIndexChan ging="DetailsVi ew1_PageIndexCh anging">
</asp:DetailsView >

protected void DetailsView1_Mo deChanging(Obje ct sender,
DetailsViewMode EventArgs e)
{
//do I need to do something here??
}

Re: DetailsView won't enter Edit mode?

You'll need to have an event for your Edit hyperlink that sets you into Edit
mode.

If you're using Commands, you could capture the CommandName.Equ als("Edit")
of your ItemCommand event and then run:

protected void DetailsViewObje ct_ItemCommand( object sender, DetailsViewComm andEventArgs
e)
{
if (e.CommandName. Equals("Edit"))
{
DetailsViewObje ct.ChangeMode(D etailsViewMode. Edit);
}
}

Or simply anything that fires off the ChangeMode method. After you're done
editing, be sure to swap back to .ReadOnly when you're done.

HTH.
