Property Value

Type: System.Collections.Specialized::IOrderedDictionary
A dictionary that contains field name/value pairs that represent the primary key of the row to delete.

When the DataKeyNames property of a GridView control is set, use the Keys property (dictionary) to get the value of the primary key or keys of the row to delete.

NoteNote:

To get the values of the non-key fields, use the Values property.

The Keys dictionary is automatically populated with the name/value pairs of the field or fields specified in the DataKeyNames property. If multiple fields form the primary key, a separate entry is added to the Keys dictionary for each key field.

To determine the name of a key field, use the DictionaryEntry::Key property of a System.Collections::DictionaryEntry object in the Keys dictionary. To determine the value of a key field, use the DictionaryEntry::Value property.

The following example shows how to use the Values property to get the values of the key fields for the row to delete. The values are then written to a log file of deleted records.
