Changing the DefaultMode of a FormView

[Gill1978]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the DefaultMode of a page (e.g Page2.aspx) from Edit to Insert when a user selects a button in another page (e.g. Page1.aspx).

In the rest of the application Page2.aspx should always run in Edit mode except for the above occassion.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to accomplish this??

Thanks in advance

Julie

You could pass a variable through as a querystring to the page

Well, if you redirect the user from page one to page two, pass a querystring value along in the URL. Then, on page two, check if this value exists. If it does, change the FormView mode into Insert.

Thanks for that ...
You don't by any chance have a link to an FAQ/ other post ... i'm new to C# ... and i'm assuming the checking for the querystring value is in the code behind page?

Thanks

Have a look at the help files for Request.Querystring

Hi

Not to be a pain but how do I retrieve the parameter passed?

I've got the following in page1
PostBackUrl='~/Page2.aspx?id="Add"'

How do I retrieve the parameter in page2 ...

I had a look around but I can't seem to find what i'm looking for??!

Thanks in advance ...

would it be request.querystring("id")

Thanks

Hiya,

Changed tack ... so now I'm trying to add the Profile parameter to the postbackUrl so it returns to another page.

Typical of me can't seem to find a source on how to attach this to the postBackUrl ... any helpful hints??

Thank for the patience ..

Julie
