The FormViewModeEventArgs type exposes the following members.

Constructors
  Name Description
Public method FormViewModeEventArgs Initializes a new instance of the FormViewModeEventArgs class.
Top
Properties
  Name Description
Public property Cancel Gets or sets a value indicating whether the event should be canceled. (Inherited from CancelEventArgs.)
Public property CancelingEdit Gets a value indicating whether the ModeChanging event was raised as a result of the user canceling an edit operation.
Public property NewMode Gets or sets the mode to which the FormView control is changing.
Top
Methods
  Name Description
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The ModeChanging event is raised when a FormView control attempts to switch between edit, insert, and read-only mode, but before the mode actually changes. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as configuring the FormView control for a specific mode or canceling the mode change, whenever this event occurs.

A FormViewInsertEventArgs object is passed to the event-handling method, which allows you to determine the mode to which the FormView control is changing, to determine whether the ModeChanging event was raised as a result of the user canceling an edit or insert operation, or to indicate that the mode change should be canceled. To determine the new mode, use the NewMode property. You can also use the NewMode property to programmatically specify an alternate mode to which to change by setting it to one of the FormViewMode enumeration values. Use the CancelingEdit property to determine whether this event was raised as the result of the user canceling an edit or insert operation. To cancel the mode change, set the Cancel property to true.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of the FormViewModeEventArgs class, see the FormViewModeEventArgs constructor.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the FormViewModeEventArgs object passed to the event-handling method for the ModeChanging event to hide the pager row when the FormView control transitions to edit mode.

Security note Security Note

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.
