Using find command in Unix

Just for my memory...

find . -exec grep "keywords" '{}' \; -print

This handly statement finds files contains "keywords" and print the line and the file name as well.

Whenever you experience this sort of problem, most likely it will be the problem of file: normal.dot

Try to seek and delete that file to solve the problem.

Using EditItemTemplate for InsertItemTemplate in FormView (ASP.NET)

There is a nice way to reuse your hardly made EditItemTemplate in the InsertItemtemplate. Found in ASP.NET forum:
protected void FormView1_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) {

   FormView1.InsertItemTemplate = FormView1.EditItemTemplate

}

protected void FormView1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e) {     

  if (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Edit) {

       LinkButton InsertButton = FormView1.FindControl("InsertButton") as LinkButton;

       LinkButton UpdateButton = FormView1.FindControl("UpdateButton") as LinkButton;

       InsertButton.Visible = false;

       UpdateButton.Visible = true;

  } else if (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert) {

       LinkButton InsertButton = FormView1.FindControl("InsertButton") as LinkButton;

       LinkButton UpdateButton = FormView1.FindControl("UpdateButton") as LinkButton;

       InsertButton.Visible = true;

       UpdateButton.Visible = false;

  }

}
