Can DetailsView change mode?

[bigoldbulldog]

Case: DetailsView in .NET 2.0 without DataSourceID, i.e. NO DataSource object. I'm forced to go with OleDB objects in my methods.

Problem: when either Insert or Edit command buttons are clicked the DetailsView object doesn't appear to enter insert or edit modes. Obviously the ModeChanging event occurs but nothing happens. Also, ItemInserting event is never reached.

Any thoughts on making this work? Is the DataSource object required? Should I use a dummy object?

Cheers,

Can you post some code on how you create your object and are using it? It's hard to help without seeing what you are doing.

I added in a SQLDataSource and set the DataSourceID property. Also, I worked out the issues forcing OleDB, so it seemed to fix the problem.
