Remarks

The Rows property (collection) is used to store the data rows in a DetailsView control. The DetailsView control automatically populates the Rows collection by creating a DetailsViewRow object for each record in the data source and then adding the object to the collection. This property is commonly used to access a specific row in the control or to iterate though the entire collection of rows.

Note

Only data rows are stored in the Rows collection. The DetailsViewRow objects that represent the header, footer, and pager rows are not included in the collection.
