  </body>
</html>

Remarks

Use this constructor to initialize a new instance of the DetailsView class. To dynamically add a DetailsView control to a page, create a new DetailsView object, set its properties, and then add it to the Control.Controls collection of a container control, such as PlaceHolder.
