DataGrid.OnItemDataBound(DataGridItemEventArgs) Method

Definition

Raises the ItemDataBound event. This allows you to provide a custom handler for the event.

protected:
 virtual void OnItemDataBound(System::Web::UI::WebControls::DataGridItemEventArgs ^ e);
protected virtual void OnItemDataBound (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e);
abstract member OnItemDataBound : System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs -> unit
override this.OnItemDataBound : System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs -> unit
Protected Overridable Sub OnItemDataBound (e As DataGridItemEventArgs)

Parameters

e
DataGridItemEventArgs

A DataGridItemEventArgs that contains event data.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to specify and code a handler for the ItemDataBound event to display the order that items in the DataGrid are data bounded.

Remarks

Use the OnItemDataBound method to provide a custom handler for the ItemDataBound event.

The ItemDataBound event is raised after an item is data bound to the DataGrid control. This event provides you with the last opportunity to access the data item before it is displayed on the client. After this event is raised, the data item is nulled out and no longer available.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnItemDataBound(DataGridItemEventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnItemDataBound(DataGridItemEventArgs) method.

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.
