BaseDataList.RequiresDataBinding Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the data listing control needs to bind to its specified data source.

protected:
 property bool RequiresDataBinding { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
protected bool RequiresDataBinding { get; set; }
member this.RequiresDataBinding : bool with get, set
Protected Property RequiresDataBinding As Boolean

Property Value

true if the control needs to bind to a data source; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The BaseDataList control uses the RequiresDataBinding property to determine whether the control needs to call the DataBind method to bind to its specified data source.

Each time the set accessor is called on either the DataSource, the DataSourceID, or the DataMember property to change the data source after the OnInit method has already been called, ASP.NET automatically sets the value of the RequiresDataBinding property to true. The value of the RequiresDataBinding property is also set to true when the OnDataSourceChanged method is called.

ASP.NET automatically sets the value of the RequiresDataBinding property to false immediately after the DataBind method has been called.
