Is inserting only done from scratch?

[brett]

I'm using a GridView for selects and edits. I'd like to keep this view
and have an Insert option. I don't want a detailsview because you have
to see an editing view first. I want to start on the gridview, click
insert, type in data, which corresponds to the same columns I see in
the gridview, and hit enter to insert. Similar to a spreadsheet.

Do I have to build this type of functionality from scratch?

Thanks,
Brett

You might check out this sample at ASPNet101.com:

Not only does it give you the possibilities, of adding a new row, but it
shows how to make all the rows fully editable, updating and inserting all in
one action
