Hi Ladislav,
I have a SQLDataSource adapter binding the Form, thus all of the child
controls in the FormView's ItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate are
databound controls. If I break the databind, the form will not
display the user data which is a business requirement, that is, by
Enable = False (disabling) the control the user will be able to see
their data but not alter it.
Just for my understanding would you share a bit more behind you logic,
cuz, I seem not to understand why would the databind would imped
Setting properties in the child control (i.e.: Textbox1.Enable =
False)
Thanks,
