.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / September 2007Show/Edit on one page: Best option
Hello, I want to have a page that displays the fields of a record of a database. When user press 'Edit' button, he would be able to edit the data. What is the best way to do this? What I can suggest is to show the fields using label controls and when user press 'Edit', replace the labels with TextBox controls (setting visible property of Labels to false and TextBox to true). Is there any better way to do this? Regards Look into the Gridview - it has display and edit capabilities built in: http://www.aspnet101.com/aspnet101/aspnet/codesample.aspx?code=GvNoCodeEdit Also another way, if you would like it in a Master/Detail fashion, you could use a DetailsView, along with a Gridview: http://www.aspnet101.com/aspnet101/aspnet/codesample.aspx?code=MasterDetail20 David Wier http://aspnet101.com http://iWritePro.com - One click PDF, convert .doc/.rtf/.txt to HTML with no bloated markup > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Regards Thank, I want to have a form view instead of a gridview.

Then you have answered your own question. Use a FormView control bound to a (Sql/Xml/Etc)DataSource control, and use Labels in the ItemTemplate and TextBoxes in the EditItemTemplate. There is also an InsertItemTemplate for when you want to insert new records. Check out the MSDN library or VS help. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.formview.aspx
