Question

What is the purpose of detailsview control and how does it relate to templatefield?

Answer 1

Hi @Bob Dang ,
The DetailView is a data control. Of course the purpose is to show the data from the data source. You could try to bind the source to see the layout. It only show one single record. When you bind the datafield, there are two ways: one is using BoundField. Because the detailview have the table layout, you only bind the DataField on the BoundField. Another way is using the templatedfiled. You could create the template by yourself. I suggest you could learn this article.

What is a data control in the highlighted image? What do you mean by it only shows one single record in the highlighted part of the image, since I thought that it can show many records? What do you mean by you can only bind the datafield on boundfield?

Thanks for your help.
