Hi, I have a DetailsView set to default to insert and a GridView under it to show all the inserted items. They are both connected to the same datasource. When the datasource is empty the first time, the GridView is not visible since there's no data to display. But the problem is when I insert the first record, it inserts it into the database (I can see it from the database), but the GridView is still not visible. It looks like the GridView needs an AutoPostback to kickstart it. How can I make the GridView appear with the new data after the insert.

 Thanks!

I'm still a newbie. Can you generally describe what the databind statement would look like? I assume it would go in the ItemInserted event of the DetailsView control.

DetailsView1.DataBind();

 You could put this any place (like at the end of your button script), or like you say in the ItemInserted event will work also
