DataView.Create() does not add a new record, it enters new record 
editing mode. So it's logical that you can't do that if the DataView is 
read-only.

DataSource.Create() does not create a new record. It enters new record 
editing mode.

DataView.Update() reloads the contents of the DataView. It's "update" 
from the database to the control, not the other way.

I can't reproduce. If you have a DataControl pointing at a date field, 
the control is updated when the date chooser closes, but the record is 
not saved automatically.

There is no image chooser in a DataControl. I don't know what you are 
talking about.

Mmmm... Things are still not clear for me. I will try to read the thread 
slowly from the start.
