GridViewUpdateEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that handles the RowUpdating event of a GridView control.

public delegate void GridViewUpdateEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs ^ e);
public delegate void GridViewUpdateEventHandler(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e);
type GridViewUpdateEventHandler = delegate of obj * GridViewUpdateEventArgs -> unit
Public Delegate Sub GridViewUpdateEventHandler(sender As Object, e As GridViewUpdateEventArgs)

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
GridViewUpdateEventArgs

A GridViewUpdateEventArgs object that contains the event data.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically add a GridViewUpdateEventHandler delegate to the RowUpdating event of a GridView control.

Remarks

The RowUpdating event is raised when a row's Update button is clicked, but before the GridView control updates the row. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as canceling the update operation, whenever this event occurs.

When you create a GridViewUpdateEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event-handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.
