edit button on formview

I'm working through an example of a formview cortrol. I have bound the
control to edit, update, insert, delete stored procs. I have a grid view with
a button on it that sets the formview to a recod. It displays fine, except
that there is no EDIT button? What could i have done wrong? Also how can you
set the current mode to edit? I tried setting the default mode to edit, even
but i still get view only. What's going on here?

thanks (as always)
some day i''m gona pay this forum back for all the help i''m getting

A FormView requires you to define the entire template, including the button
to change the FormView into Edit mode. What you will need to do is put a
<asp:Button> or a <asp:LinkButton > with a well known CommandName property.
The well known names are "Edit", "Update", "Insert", "Delete", and "Cancel".

I am using the formview control. Within its edit template I have a treeview, which I populate programatically. Initially I had an item template in which I had a button, which triggered the edit template. The treeview was populated with the following code Protected Sub FormView1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) If FormView1.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit Or FormView1.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Insert Then...

I have a formview that has a dropdownlist bound to a table to populate a list of people. While in edit mode, if a person is not in that list, there is a button that pops up an add requester page and the new name is added to the table. However, when the popup closes, the parent page appears to refresh but the new name is not immediately in the dropdownlist. I have to get out of edit or go to another page and come back to see it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
