detailview loses components after refresh

[Mike]

I have a detailview, with several template columns in it.

It's setup so that a user views info from a datagrid, and if they want
to add another row, they click a button. The button causes a
detailview to open up, in insert mode, they enter the data, hit insert,
and the detailview goes away. Their data now appears in the gridview.
When the user clicks the button to open the detailview, a few databound
labels in 2 of the detailview's template insert columns get set from
the code (see below)

This all works, the first time thru. However, on the second time
through, opening the detailview, I get an unhandled exception when I'm
trying to set the labels to a value. Upon further inspection, I notice
that the detailview has no children controls. This happens whether I
open the detailview, insert data, and save, then re-open the detailview
(failure happens here), or if I just open the detailview, hit the
cancel option, and open the detailview again (failure happens here).

Here is some relevant code, let me know if there's anything else
needed:

protected void cmdAddPermDefau lt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
/* This is the button press that makes the detailview visible,
the button invisible, sets two fields within the detailview (Label7 and
Label8 are labels in the insert template) */

dvAppPermission s.Visible = true;
dvAppPermission s.ChangeMode(De tailsViewMode.I nsert);
((Label)dvAppPe rmissions.FindC ontrol("Label7" )).Text =
"SYSDEFAULT "; <-- Fails on this line with NullReferenceEx ception (there
are no controls in the dv)
((Label)dvAppPe rmissions.FindC ontrol("Label8" )).Text = appID;
cmdAddPermDefau lt.Visible = false;
}
protected void dvAppPermission s_ModeChanging( object sender,
DetailsViewMode EventArgs e)
{
/* when the mode of the detail view is changing, I'm checking to
see if it's going back to read only, if so, make it not visible, and
make the add button visible */
if (e.NewMode == DetailsViewMode .ReadOnly)
{
((DetailsView)s ender).Visible = false;
cmdAddPermDefau lt.Visible = true;
}
}

Any pointers as to why the second time through the detailsview there
are no controls?

Thanks,
Mike
