SqlDataAdapter.RowUpdating Event

Occurs during Update before a command is executed against the data source. The attempt to update is made, so the event fires.

Namespace: System.Data.SqlClient
Assembly: System.Data (in system.data.dll)

'Declaration
Public Event RowUpdating As SqlRowUpdatingEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlDataAdapter
Dim handler As SqlRowUpdatingEventHandler

AddHandler instance.RowUpdating, handler

/** @event */
public void add_RowUpdating (SqlRowUpdatingEventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_RowUpdating (SqlRowUpdatingEventHandler value)

In JScript, you can handle the events defined by a class, but you cannot define your own.
Not applicable.

When using Update, there are two events that occur per data row updated. The order of execution is as follows:

  1. The values in the DataRow are moved to the parameter values.

  2. The OnRowUpdating event is raised.

  3. The command executes.

  4. If the command is set to FirstReturnedRecord, the first returned result is placed in the DataRow.

  5. If there are output parameters, they are placed in the DataRow.

  6. The OnRowUpdated event is raised.

  7. AcceptChanges is called.

The following example shows how to use both the RowUpdating and RowUpdated events.

The RowUpdating event returns this output:

event args: (command=System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand commandType=2 status=0)

The RowUpdated event returns this output:

event args: (command=System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand commandType=2 recordsAffected=1 row=System.Data.DataRow[37] status=0)
