How to Add a Row in WebForm?

[VictorReinhart]

Hi,
I need to add a row in a WebForm, using VS 2005 and C sharp, using a
SQLDataSource.

If the table or SQLDataSource is empty, and you use a DetailsView
Control to let the user add a new row, the "New" hyperlink is
invisible. Therefore, the user can't add a row. So, what can I do?

Thank you

I dont know if this will help since i dont have any experience with the
DetailsView control. In a DataGrid/DataSet/DataView scenario when the page
loads I check if the DataSet is empty and if it is I use
DataTable.Rows.Add() and DataTable.NewRow() to automatically add a blank
entry and then Set DataGrid.EditItemIndex = 0 to start editing the first
row.

Hope that helps,
Dave

The solution for a FormView is:

FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Insert);

For a DetailsView, it is probably:

DetailsView1.ChangeMode(DetailsViewMode.Insert);

Now, if only this could be done for a GridView!
