The FormView control raises the ItemUpdating event when an Update button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Update") within the control is clicked, but before the FormView control updates the record. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as HTML encoding or validating the values of a record before updating it in the data source, whenever this event occurs.
A FormViewUpdateEventArgs object is passed to the event-handling method, which allows you to determine the value of an optional command argument sent to the FormView control and to indicate whether the update operation should be canceled. To determine the value of the command argument, use the CommandArgument property. To cancel the update operation, set the Cancel property to true. If you need to access the original key field values for the record being updated, use the Keys property. The original non-key field values can be accessed by using the OldValues property. Updated values (which include updated key field values, if you allow the user to edit key fields) are accessed using the NewValues property.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of the FormViewUpdateEventArgs class, see the FormViewUpdateEventArgs constructor.
The following example demonstrates how to use the FormViewUpdateEventArgs object passed to the event-handling method for the ItemUpdating event to validate the values entered by the user.
