Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.
Gets a reference to the
TableItemStyle object that allows you to set the appearance of the data row when a
FormView control is in edit mode.
Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property EditRowStyle As TableItemStyle
Dim instance As FormView
Dim value As TableItemStyle
value = instance.EditRowStyle
public TableItemStyle EditRowStyle { get; }
public:
property TableItemStyle^ EditRowStyle {
TableItemStyle^ get ();
}
/** @property */
public TableItemStyle get_EditRowStyle ()
public function get EditRowStyle () : TableItemStyle
Property Value
A reference to the
TableItemStyle that represents the style of the data row when a
FormView control is in edit mode.
Remarks
Use the EditRowStyle property to control the appearance of the data row when a FormView control is in edit mode. When the FormView control is in edit mode, the data row displays the user-defined content specified by the EditItemTemplate property. This property is read-only; however, you can set the properties of the TableItemStyle object it returns. The properties can be set declaratively using one of the following methods:
-
Place an attribute in the opening tag of the FormView control in the form Property-Subproperty, where Subproperty is a property of the TableItemStyle object (for example, EditRowStyle-ForeColor).
-
Nest an <EditRowStyle> element between the opening and closing tags of the FormView control.
The properties can also be set programmatically in the form Property.Subproperty (for example, EditRowStyle.ForeColor). Common settings usually include a custom background color, foreground color, and font properties.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to use the EditRowStyle property to specify a custom style for a data row when a FormView control is in edit mode.
