        CustomerDetailView.HeaderStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
        CustomerDetailView.HeaderStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
        break;
      default:
          CustomerDetailView.HeaderText = "Error!";
        break;

Remarks

The ModeChanged event is raised when a DetailsView control attempts to change between edit, insert, and read-only mode, but after the CurrentMode property is updated. This allows you to provide an event handler that performs a custom routine, such as synchronizing the DetailsView control with another control, whenever this event occurs.

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.
