Empty Data in DetailsView, New link not showing

[wardemon]

Hi All,
I have a Master(GridView) / Detail(DetailsView) page scenario. When
one clicks on a row in the GridView, the DetailsView will be filled-up
with related data.

My problem is that, whenever one clicks on a row in the GridView that
doesnt have any data to be displayed in the DetailsView, the
DetailsView only displays "no record found" as set via the
"EmptyDataText" property.

I would like the "no record found" to be displayed, AS WELL as the
"New" link button. So that users can add a new record in the
DetailsView.

But the "New" link button wont show up even if I set the
AutoGenerateInsertButton="true" to the DetailsView.

Anyone encounterd this scneario? Any clues on how can I make the
"New" link button come out?

Regards,
Henry
