Detailsview: Is it possible to share templatefields

[=?Utf-8?B?T2xlIEtpcmtob2x0?=]

Hello

I'm starting on my first asp.net project.
I'm using VS2008sp1 and .Net 3.5

I'm trying to create a page for inserting/editing a single databaserecord

I need both multiline textboxes, check- and listboxes.
To do that I need templatefields, right ?

Is there a way to share the same templatefield between inserting and editing,
so I don't have til make everything (including validation controls) twice ?

Best Regards

Ole

RE: Detailsview: Is it possible to share templatefields

If you do not specify an inserting template, the editing template will be used.
The save button needs an "insert" or "update" string, so you can create
a protected property UpdateOrInsert which returns
FormView1.Curre ntMode != FormViewMode.In sert ? "Update" : "Insert";
Specify CommandName='<% # UpdateOrInsert %>' for the save button.

Hello again

I have tried this, but it is not working on inserts.

When I want to insert a record by setting the formview's defaultmode to
Insert, the property isn't read, and therefore the commandtext isn't updated.

Is there any other way/event that can be used to set the CommandText of a
linkbutton, of to force the form til save the new record ?¨

Dit you use a FormView1.DataB ind()?
In the PageLoad I mostly DataBind all controls:
if (!IsPostBack)
{
FormView1.DataB ind();
}
