[RESOLVED] Does anyone know why Delete, Edit, and New buttons aren't showing up on my DetailsView?

I am using DetailsView controls to display data.

All I am trying do here is display 3 buttons, Delete,
Edit, New

When I run the app, none of them is displaying.

Instead, Insert and Cancel buttons are displaying.

As far as I know, Insert or Cancel can only display after clicking on
New link; in my case button

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance

    
                    CellPadding="4" DataKeyNames="RecordID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3" ForeColor="#333333"
            GridLines="None" Height="50px" Width="100%">
            
            
            
            
            
            
                                    ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="RecordID" />
                
                                ShowDeleteButton="true"
                DeleteText="Delete Record" ShowEditButton="true"
                EditText="Edit Record" ShowInsertButton="true"
                InsertText="Insert Record"
                NewText="New Record" />
            
            
            
            
        
    

Unless something is setting your dv to be in insert mode. 

Thank you very much for your respone.

When I go into design mode, I see all 3 appear correctly.

Please see attached.

Sorry, I forgot attachment is not allowed here.

 

Hi simflex,

I copy your code in my .aspx and it can display 3 buttons named Delete Record, Edit Record, and Insert Record.

The only difference is the datasource. So you can check your datasource. 

And I share the code in my lab machine:

            CellPadding="4" DataKeyNames="EmployeeID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ForeColor="#333333"
            GridLines="None" Height="50px" Width="100%">
            
            
            
            
            
            
                                    ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="EmployeeID" />
                
                                ShowDeleteButton="true"
                DeleteText="Delete Record" ShowEditButton="true"
                EditText="Edit Record" ShowInsertButton="true"
                InsertText="Insert Record"
                NewText="New Record" />
            
            
            
            
        
        

Hope it can help.

Thank for the response.

I see the problem and yes, MetalASP.Net is correct. It was put on insert mode:

DetailsView1.ChangeMode(

Protected Sub DetailsView1_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DetailsView1.DataBound
        If DetailsView1.Rows.Count = 0 Then
            DetailsView1.ChangeMode(DetailsViewMode.Insert)
        End If
    End Sub

How do I change that so all 3 will show?

Thanks again

 

Ok, I got it now. When you insert a record, then it automatically activates the delete, edit and New options.

Thank you.
