Hey,

It should as though you are trying to provide the ability to have a ReadOnly version of the data, and then on click on a button, switch into edit mode. Does that sum it up?

Are you familiar with the FormView control? This gives you the ability to have a readonly version of content, and then a edit and insert version. This is handled through the use of Templates, namely the ItemTemplate, EditTemplate, and InsertItemTemplate.

You can find information about this here:

and an example here:

You may also want to think about the DetailsView, which offers similar functionality.

Hope that helps!!
