Changing the mode of Form View or DetailsView

[kav123]

How do you change the readonly mode of FormView or DetailsView .
Ive tried the following but none work:
if (IsPostBack)
{
if (Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] == "lnkEdit")
{
FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit);
FormView1.DefaultMode = FormViewMode.Edit;
}
}

and tried this as well:

protected void lnkEdit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit);
}

Any ideas.

FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit) should work.

You could also try changing the default mode:
FormView1.DefaultMode = FormViewMode.Edit

Hope that helps

Cheers

you should not need to preform this check

if (Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] == "lnkEdit")

you show the code for the link button, but have you assigned the delegate to the event? when you grid/detail/form/repeater I favor the Command event handler over individual delegates for each event.
