Remarks

Use the NewMode property to determine the mode to which the DetailsView control is changing. For example, you might want to configure the DetailsView control based on the mode to which it changes. You can also use this property to specify the mode to which the DetailsView control changes by setting it to one of the DetailsViewMode enumeration values.
