SqlRowUpdatingEventArgs Class

Provides data for the RowUpdating event.

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

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class SqlRowUpdatingEventArgs _
	Inherits RowUpdatingEventArgs
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlRowUpdatingEventArgs

The RowUpdating event is raised before an Update to a row.

When you are using Update, there are two events that occur for each 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, and 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)
