Show/Edit on one page: Best option

[ma]

Hello,

I want to have a page that displays the fields of a record of a database.
When user press 'Edit' button, he would be able to edit the data. What is
the best way to do this?



What I can suggest is to show the fields using label controls and when user
press 'Edit', replace the labels with TextBox controls (setting visible
property of Labels to false and TextBox to true).



Is there any better way to do this?



Regards

I want to have a form view instead of a gridview.

Then you have answered your own question. Use a FormView control bound to a
(Sql/Xml/Etc)DataSource control, and use Labels in the ItemTemplate and
TextBoxes in the EditItemTemplate. There is also an InsertItemTemplate for
when you want to insert new records.

Check out the MSDN library or VS help.
