I am using listview to display a list of items and a nested listview to show list of features to each item. Both parent and child listview need to able Insert,
Edit and delete operation. It works fine for parent listview. But when I try to
edit an child item, The
edit button does not take it into
Edit mode. Can you please suggest me what I am missing
in my code?

Code Behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
{
BindData();
}
}
private void BindData()
{
MyDataContext data = new MyDataContext();
var result = from itm
in data.ItemLists
where itm.ItemID == iItemID
select new
{
itm.ItemID,
itm.Description,
FeatureList = itm.Features
};
lvParent.DataSource = result;
lvParent.DataBind();
}
protected void lvChild_ItemEditing(object sender, ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
ListView lvChild = sender as ListView;
lvChild.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
lvChild.DataBind();
}
Edit:
protected void lvChild_ItemEditing(object sender, ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
ListView lvChild = sender as ListView;
lvChild.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
lvChild.DataBind();
}
If I use "lvChild.DataBind()"
in 'ItemEditing' event, the total list of child items goes away if I click '
edit'
protected void lvChild_ItemEditing(object sender, ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
ListView lvChild = sender as ListView;
lvChild.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
}
if I get rid of 'lvChild.Databind'
in ItemEditing event, it goes to
Edit mode after clicking the '
edit' button twice . And though it shows textbox control of EditItemTemplate, it appears as a blank textbox (does not bind existing value to edit).
