Hi Tdar,
Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
As for the FormView control, it is mainly used for binding and displaying
single data record. FormView is providing the similiar functionality as
DetailsView, the difference is that DetailsView provide buildin fields
while FormView let us define custom template for displaying data. Also, if
you want to retrieve any sub control instances you defined in the template,
we can use
FormView.Row.FindControl(controlid)
In addition, here is the ASP.NET 2.0's quickstart tutorial from
beta.asp.net:
http://beta.asp.net/Tutorials/quickstart.aspx
You can find some reference on FromView and other databinding controls
there. Hope also helps.
