This example demonstrates the usage of edit and insert templates in RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX. These templates allows you to define the appearance of the edited and inserted listview items as well as the controls-editors for the fields displayed in the ItemTemplate/AlternatingItemTemplate of RadListView.

Keep in mind that you need to specify ItemPlaceholderID property value for RadListView which matches the id of an ASP.NET server control (with id and runat=server properties set) which will be used as a holder of the actual listview data content. The RadListView instance on the example has asp PlaceHolder defined inside its LayoutTemplates for this purpose.
