Editing a data row

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I have a table where the data in each row has several columns where
depending in if column A is 0 or 1, then they need to fill out columns A, B,
C, & D or X, Y, and Z.

And for A-D, they actually need to fill out B & C or D.

Can this be handled by DetailsView? If so, how (not specifically for my A-D
but is there a url that shows this)?

Hi Dave,

For your scenario, the data columns will have strong dependecy on one
another, we may need much customization on the EditTemplate. In my opinion,
use a single row specific DataBound control (like DetailsView, FormView) is
preferred. And IMO, FormView should be the most appropriate one since it
dosn't by default separate each data column's template by Field boundary.
You can design the Item and Edit Template for all the database columns in a
single Template, this will be very helpful if you'll add many customization
on the input fields for each column or add some dependent code logic on
them.

Hope this helps.
