Remarks

Use the DefaultMode property to specify whether the FormView control returns to edit, insert, or read-only mode after an update, insert, or cancel operation is performed. By default, the FormView control returns to read-only mode; however, you can keep the FormView control in edit or insert mode by setting this property to the appropriate value. The following table lists the different mode values.

Mode	Description
`FormViewMode.Edit`	The FormView control is in edit mode, which allows the user to update the values of a record.
`FormViewMode.Insert`	The FormView control is in insert mode, which allows the user to add a new record to the data source.
`FormViewMode.ReadOnly`	The FormView control is in read-only mode, which is the normal display mode.

This property is commonly used when the FormView control has a single purpose, such as only to insert or edit records.
