Using Command Line To Open FormView In NestedView

[Shawn]

I currently have a radGrid which opens an asp FormView in the NestedViewTemplate like so:

<NestedViewTemplate>
         <asp:Label ID="CurrentUser" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("user_id") %>' Visible="false"></asp:Label>
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlds_SelectedUser" runat="server"
            ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:M_ConnectionString %>"
            SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [d_users] WHERE ([user_id] = @user_id)">
            <SelectParameters>
                <asp:ControlParameter Name="user_id" Type="Int32" ControlID="CurrentUser" PropertyName="Text" />
            </SelectParameters>
        </asp:SqlDataSource>
            <asp:FormView ID="form_DUser" runat="server" DataKeyNames="user_id"
                DataSourceID="sqlds_SelectedUser" Width="100%">
....

This is perfect for viewing and editing the record, however, how do I open the FormView in InsertMode when a user clicks the Grid's command item "Add New Record" link?

I want the grids add new record command to display the form that is in the NestedViewTemplate, and change its mode to form_DUser.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Insert)

Is this possible?

Hello Shawn,

A possible approach would be to put the formview in edit form template as shown below:

<MasterTableView ....>
     ......
    <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
        <FormTemplate>
           your code
        </FormTemplate>
    </EditFormSettings>
</MasterTableView>

Form Template Edit Form demo
Inserting values using UserControl/FormTemplate
Updating values using UserControl/FormTemplate
