Remarks
By default, the FormView control returns to the mode specified by the DefaultMode property. Use the KeepInInsertMode property to specify whether the FormView control should remain in insert mode after an insert operation. To keep the FormView control in insert mode, set this property to true.
Note
This property should be used only when a situation occurs (such as an exception being raised) that requires the control to behave differently than it normally would. If the FormView control needs to remain in insert mode by default, set the DefaultMode property instead.
