I have a gridview and discovered that under giidview tasks there are (among 
other things)
Enable Editing
Enable Deleting
Enable Selection

These seem to be duplicated in the CommandField.  For example, if I bring up 
"edit columns" and scroll down to CommandField and add that item, I then get 
the behaviors of "ShowDeleteButton", "ShowEditButton", "ShowInsertButton", 
etc.
Enableing those and also enableing the above 3 gives me duplicate "edit" 
buttons that behave identical.

Clicking on either of the new "edit" buttons changes both of them to 
"update", "cancel".  So can I assume that I should just be using a 
CommandField and not bother with the "Enable Editing" and "Enable Deleting"?

Under "Behavior" there is "ShowInsertButton" and I get a "New" in the last 
column along with the "Edit".  There is no code generated to perform the 
"new".  Googleing I see where people are rolling their own using either a 
footer or a detail

someone here shows how to use a footer to enter stuff

another person shows how to use a detail view to enter stuff

    I dont like either of these two although I could use them.  I would have 
to create a lot of detail views, one for each gridview and I got a bunch of 
gridviews in my tabs.

    Is there a way to do an insert right below where I click on "new" and 
then have the gridview go to edit mode where all I got to do is type in the 
values and click on "update"?

  If I use the "detail view" method it seems like I dont even need the "new" 
button, just need to put a single "add" button somewhere and pop up the 
detail view to be filled in.

   Is there a recommended mechanism for using that built in "new" button to 
do an update?


...thanks..
