This seems like a basic question, but I can't seem to find the right answer.

I'm trying to use the same ascx file to handle both the VIEW and EDIT functions.  It seems foolish to create two files when there is literally ONE field that needs to be changed it EDIT mode.  I simply want to toggle between showing some text in VIEW mode, and showing a textbox in EDIT mode.

The problem is that I'm struggling to accurately detect the mode.  When I'm logged in as HOST, for example, IsEditable and me.EditMode are both TRUE all the time.  I can be looking at a Control of type VIEW or a control of type EDIT.  Doesn't matter.  Both say TRUE every time.

What am I missing here?  Short of looking at the query string and searching for ctl/edit, how do I tell whether I'm seeing a VIEW or an EDIT?
