Remarks

Use the DefaultMode property to specify whether the DetailsView control returns to edit, insert, or read-only mode after an edit or insert operation is performed. By default, the DetailsView control returns to read-only mode; however, you can keep the DetailsView control in edit or insert mode by setting this property to the appropriate value. The following table lists the different mode values.

Mode	Description
DetailsViewMode.Edit	The DetailsView control is in edit mode, which allows the user to update the values of a record.
DetailsViewMode.Insert	The DetailsView control is in insert mode, which allows the user to add a new record to the data source.
DetailsViewMode.ReadOnly	The DetailsView control is in read-only mode, which is the normal display mode.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the DefaultMode property to specify that the DetailsView control should remain in edit mode after a record has been updated.
