FromView EditTemplate & ItemTemplate with ObjectContainerDataSource

[Anilsg]

Hi Friends,

I have a FormView with EditItemTemplate with "Update & cancel " Link & ItemTemplate with "Edit" Link.
When i run the application the ItemTemplate will be running But When i click on the Edit Link The DropDownList is the EditItemTemplate is throughing the Null Execption , in this line of Code

"DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList) FormView1.FindControl("DropDownList1"); "

The ddl is null,

But When i set the FormView Defultmode in the aspx page ie.

"<FormView id="FormView1" DefaultMode="Edit" ...>"

Then the "ddl" will not be null and the data is Binded , But the starting page will be "EditItemTemplate" But i want to "ItemTemplate" as starting page.

And when i click on the "Update" Link the error is "Id" is read Only, And the services we are getting the "Id" is read only only set; on get; .
Is there any other way to slove this problem with out making the I "Id" as get;.


Thanks with regards
