Remarks
Use the EditRowStyle property to control the appearance of the data row when a FormView control is in edit mode. When the FormView control is in edit mode, the data row displays the user-defined content specified by the EditItemTemplate property. This property is read-only; however, you can set the properties of the TableItemStyle object it returns. The properties can be set declaratively using one of the following methods:
Place an attribute in the opening tag of the FormView control in the form
Property-Subproperty, whereSubpropertyis a property of the TableItemStyle object (for example,EditRowStyle-ForeColor).Nest an
<EditRowStyle>element between the opening and closing tags of the FormView control.
The properties can also be set programmatically in the form Property.Subproperty (for example, EditRowStyle.ForeColor). Common settings usually include a custom background color, foreground color, and font properties.
