Gridview Templates In Asp.net C#

Thank you for a very useful article.It’s a shame the gridview does not have insert functionality built in, and that we have to result to a hack. One thing that gets lost using this method is the ability to use built-in field validation capability of asp.net. Validation doesn’t work on controls that are placed in the footer. Probably for the same reason as why the footer controls are not available in the code-behind. I’m sure that’s by design as the footer was never intended to contain these types of controls anyway.I just ended up adding some validation code to the method for creating a new record, and sending a javascript alert to the user if validation fails, and the reason why it failed.
