Got a Formview, and on the datasource "inserted" call, I check to see
if there was a SQL exception (such as a unique key failure). I then
handle the exception, displaying an error in a label. However, the
formview reverts back to readonly mode. How do I keep it in Insert
mode so the user can fix there data entry mistake?

Handle FormView's ItemInserted event instead and set KeepInInsertMode of the
passed FormViewInsertedEventArgs to true:

protected void MyFormView_ItemInserted(object sender,
FormViewInsertedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Exception != null)
{
// display exception
lblException.Text = e.Exception.ToString();
e.KeepInInsertMode = true;
}
}

I forgot about setting exceptionhandled to true :

protected void MyFormView_ItemInserted(object sender,
FormViewInsertedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Exception != null)
{
// display exception
lblException.Text = e.Exception.ToString();
e.KeepInInsertMode = true;
e.ExceptionHandled = true;
}
}

Now it should work like a charm.

Perfect, thanks.

So let me ask this: Is the formview or gridview the best place to do
error handling? I had the handing in the datasource object events,
in which case I had no access to the KeepInInsertMode.
