I want to build a data entry form for creating and updating info on
something.

When I'm first creating an item all the fields need to be editable. There
after some fields become readonly. Most of these fields are text based, and
I really want to have them appear as a label rather than a text box that is
read only.

I really want different behaviour for creation, edit and view. I guess I
need to write a templated data-bound control.

The DataList server control is a close match, but doesn't have sufficient
templates for me.

Is there an example of adding a template to a DataList Control?

Any other advice?

Thanks
Martin

Hi Ashish,

I think I need more templates than the DataList control provides - I want
distinct templates for create, edit and view. As far as I can tell DataList
has templates for edit and view, but not create. My requirement is that
some fields are only editable at create time, not subsequently.

I'm going to follow the suggestion from else where on this newsgroup to use
the header or footer template
