The DataControlCommands class contains public fields for data-bound control command names. The class constructor is private, so you cannot create an instance of the class. However, because it only contains const string resources, you can use the class constructor and its public fields just as you would any static class.
Using the command names of the DataControlCommands class enables all the ASP.NET data-bound controls and their respective designer classes to use the same string resources for common commands, such as "Edit" or "Update", and to correctly handle events that are posted by an IPostBackEventHandler instance. The following classes use DataControlCommands:
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
