EnsureDataBound Method
.NET Framework Class Library
BaseDataBoundControl..::.EnsureDataBound Method

Calls the DataBind method if the DataSourceID property is set and the data-bound control is marked to require binding.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Protected Overridable Sub EnsureDataBound
Visual Basic (Usage)
Me.EnsureDataBound()
C#
protected virtual void EnsureDataBound()
Visual C++
protected:
virtual void EnsureDataBound()
JScript
protected function EnsureDataBound()

The EnsureDataBound method is called during the OnPreRender method, to call the DataBind method if the data-bound control is not yet bound.

This is the same behavior pattern that the BaseDataList (from which classes such as DataGrid are derived) and Repeater classes follow. The EnsureDataBound method might also be called during calls to CreateChildControls and LoadPostData methods.
