Control.DataBind Method (Boolean) (System.Web.UI)

DataBind Method (Boolean)

.NET Framework Class Library

Control..::.DataBind Method (Boolean)

Updated: April 2009

Binds a data source to the invoked server control and all its child controls with an option to raise the DataBinding event.

Namespace: System.Web.UI
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Protected Overridable Sub DataBind ( _
    raiseOnDataBinding As Boolean _
)

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim raiseOnDataBinding As Boolean

Me.DataBind(raiseOnDataBinding)

protected virtual void DataBind(
    bool raiseOnDataBinding
)

Visual C++

protected:
virtual void DataBind(
    bool raiseOnDataBinding
)

JScript

protected function DataBind(
    raiseOnDataBinding : boolean
)

Parameters

raiseOnDataBinding: Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the DataBinding event is raised; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method in a scenario when your custom control overrides the DataBind method and implements the IDataItemContainer interface. In this scenario, the custom control calls the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method with raiseOnDataBinding set to false to ensure that the base class's DataBind method gets called.

The Control..::.DataBind()()() method invokes the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method with raiseOnDataBinding set to true.

Note:
Calling the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method with raiseOnDataBinding set to false causes any child controls to be data bound with the Control..::.DataBind()()() method.
