FormParameter Constructors

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the FormParameter class.

Overloads

FormParameter()

Initializes a new unnamed instance of the FormParameter class.

FormParameter(FormParameter)

Initializes a new instance of the FormParameter class with the values of the instance specified by the original parameter.

FormParameter(String, String)

Initializes a new named instance of the FormParameter class, using the specified string to identify which form variable field to bind to.

FormParameter(String, DbType, String)

Initializes a new instance of the FormParameter class, using the specified string to identify which form variable field to bind to.

FormParameter(String, TypeCode, String)

Initializes a new named and strongly typed instance of the FormParameter class, using the specified string to identify which form variable to bind to.

FormParameter()

Initializes a new unnamed instance of the FormParameter class.

public:
 FormParameter();
public FormParameter ();
Public Sub New ()

Examples

Important

The FormParameter does not validate the value passed by the form element in any way; it uses the raw value. In most cases, you can validate the value of the FormParameter before it is used by a data source control by handling an event, such as the Selecting, Updating, Inserting, or Deleting event exposed by the data source control you are using. If the value of the parameter does not pass your validation tests, you can cancel the data operation by setting the Cancel property of the associated CancelEventArgs class to true.

Remarks

A FormParameter object created with the FormParameter constructor is initialized with default values for all its properties. The FormField is initialized to String.Empty. Additionally, the Name property is initialized to String.Empty, the Type property is initialized to TypeCode.Object, the Direction property is initialized to Input, and the DefaultValue property is initialized to null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Applies to

FormParameter(FormParameter)

Initializes a new instance of the FormParameter class with the values of the instance specified by the original parameter.

protected:
 FormParameter(System::Web::UI::WebControls::FormParameter ^ original);
protected FormParameter (System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormParameter original);
new System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormParameter : System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormParameter -> System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormParameter
Protected Sub New (original As FormParameter)

Parameters

original
FormParameter

A FormParameter instance that the current instance is initialized from.

Remarks

The FormParameter constructor is a protected copy constructor used to clone a FormParameter instance. The values of the FormParameter, including FormField, Name, and Type are all transferred to the new instance.
