DetailsView control

Hello guys...
I had the exact same problem as posted in this thread:

DetailsView Data Control behaviour

I'm using VS2010 professional on WIN7.

On page 443, by the end of step 5, I dont get the same markup code for the DetailsView as the book states, rather I get the same markup code that Matt posted in the thread linked above, which is:

Code:

   <asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" 
    DefaultMode="Insert" Height="50px" Width="125px">
    <Fields>
      <asp:CommandField ShowInsertButton="True" />
    </Fields>
  </asp:DetailsView>

One of Imar's tips in the thread linked above was to click "refresh schema" on the smart task panel of DetailsView in the designer.
Well, I tried that, and only after doing so, I got the same code as in the book except the line:

Code:

 <asp:CommandField ShowInsertButton="True" />

,
that was removed, and after repeating step 4 again, the code I got was 100% the same as the code in the book.

Is that the way it should be? is it a known problem?

10x for any answer...

Hi there,

No, it shouldn't be like this. It should work fine the first time you set up the control. And yes, it's more or less a known problem. I've reported similar issues to Microsoft, but never found a good repro scenario that worked every time.

Glad to hear you find a solution. I back linked to this post from the one you linked to in case others run into it as well.

Thansk and Cheers,

Imar
