Remarks
By default, the DetailsView control returns to the mode specified by the DefaultMode property after an update operation. Use the KeepInEditMode property to specify whether the DetailsView control should remain in edit mode. To keep the DetailsView control in edit mode, set this property to true
.
Note
This property should be used if you want to override the default mode at a specific occasion. If the DetailsView control needs to remain in edit mode by default, set the DefaultMode property instead.
