Remarks
Use the InsertItemTemplate property to specify the custom content displayed for an item in insert mode in a TemplateField object. Define the content by creating a template that specifies how the item in insert mode is rendered.
To specify a template, first place opening and closing <InsertItemTemplate> tags between the opening and closing tags of the <TemplateField> element. Next, add the custom content between the opening and closing <InsertItemTemplate> tags. The content can be as simple as plain text or more complex (embedding other controls in the template, for example).
To programmatically access a control defined in a template, first determine which TableCell object in the data-bound control contains the control. Next, use the Controls collection of the TableCell object to access the control. You can also use the FindControl method of the TableCell object to find the control, if the control has an ID property specified.
Note
Not all data-bound controls support this template This template is supported only by data-bound controls that allow you to insert a record, such as the DetailsView control.
