Remarks

The DetailsView control is used to display a single record from a data source in a table, where each field of the record is displayed in a row of the table. It can be used in combination with a GridView control for master-detail scenarios.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use a DetailsView control in combination with a GridView control for a simple master-detail scenario. It displays the details of an item that is selected in the GridView control.

For more information on using the DetailsView control, see DetailsView Web Server Control.
