Gets the row type of the GridViewRow object.

public:
 virtual property System::Web::UI::WebControls::DataControlRowType RowType { System::Web::UI::WebControls::DataControlRowType get(); void set(System::Web::UI::WebControls::DataControlRowType value); };
public virtual System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlRowType RowType { get; set; }
member this.RowType : System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlRowType with get, set
Public Overridable Property RowType As DataControlRowType

Property Value

One of the DataControlRowType values.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the RowType property to determine whether a row being created is a footer row. If the row is a footer row, the value for the sum of the column is updated into the footer row.

Row type Description
DataRow A data row in the GridView control.
Footer The footer row in the GridView control.
Header The header row in the GridView control.
EmptyDataRow The empty row in the GridView control. The empty row is displayed when GridView control does not have any records to display.
