Answer 1

Use the FormView.ChangeMode() method to switch your form over to Insert mode.

Some code might look like this.

myFormView.DataBind();

if (myFormView.CurrentMode != FormViewMode.Insert)
{
   if (myFormView.DataItem == null)
   {
       myFormView.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Insert);
   }  
}

Answer 2

It should be like...

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
        if (FormView1.DataItemCount == 0)
        {
            FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Insert);
        }
    }
