Wrap property
Hi, I can't get ItemStyle-Wrap="True" to work on my DetailsView control. The text will not wrap.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

That's were the property is listed, but with what code are you having problems?
Can you provide more details? "Does not work" is not enough for me to suggest anything useful...

Hi there,
We're not magicians here so if you want useful help, please provide more details.
What exactly is not working, what content do you enter, which browser are you using, do you see the correct CSS appear in the final HTML, do you have other CSS that may override this behavior and so on and so forth....
Cheers,
Imar

Wrap property in DetailsView
I will answer my own question. In the DetailsView control I added a template field and replaced it with a multi-line text box. I also replaced other fields with drop down lists. The process is explained in chapter 12.

Aha, in that case, you may have misundersood the purpose of wrapping. wrap does not turn a text box (<input ype="text" />) into a multi line text aea (<textarea />). As you found out, you need to set the TextMode and then .NET will render the text box or text area.
Wrapping is used to determine the text wrapping of simple text on say, a label.
Hope this helps,
Imar

DetailsView Wrap answer
Thanks, I am learning. I don't know why properties like ItemStyle-wrap are listed if they don't work.
