Zainuddin,

Have you tried the following (see in bold):

    protected void FormView1_ItemInserted(object sender, FormViewInsertedEventArgs e)
    {
	if (e.Exception != null)
        {
           // handle exeption 

		...
            e.KeepInInsertMode = true; // keep form editing
        }
    }

Zainuddin,

Have you tried setting

    protected void FormView1_ItemInserted(object sender, FormViewInsertedEventArgs e)
    {
	if (e.Exception != null)
        {
           // handle exeption 

		...
            e.KeepInInsertMode = true; // keep form editing
        }

How do you prevent the Object Data Source from doing another select when you want the formview to stay in insert mode? 

 The Keep in Edit mode simply overrides the FormView's default behavior of putting the FormView into it's default mode (i.e. Insert mode returns to ReadOnly mode).  It doesn't do anything as far as retaining a user's updated data, which hasn't yet been saved to the database because of server-side validation failures.

 I've figured this out.  I solved the problem by throwing an exception from the BLL.  That's the only way you can get the FormView to keep the values.  I've posted about it in detail here.
