ListView::ItemCanceling Event

Occurs when a cancel operation is requested, but before the ListView control cancels the insert or edit operation.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web.Extensions (in System.Web.Extensions.dll)

public:
 event EventHandler<ListViewCancelEventArgs^>^ ItemCanceling {
	void add (EventHandler<ListViewCancelEventArgs^>^ value);
	void remove (EventHandler<ListViewCancelEventArgs^>^ value);
}
<asp:ListView OnItemCanceling="EventHandler" />

The ListView control raises the ItemCanceling event when a Cancel button in the InsertItemTemplate or EditItemTemplate template is clicked, but before the ListView control cancels the insert or edit operation. (A Cancel button is a button control whose CommandName property is set to "Cancel".) This enables you to perform a custom routine whenever this event occurs, such as stopping the cancel operation if it would put the item in an unwanted state.

A ListViewCancelEventArgs object is passed to the event handler, which enables you to determine the index of the item. It also lets you indicate that the cancel operation should be stopped. To stop the operation, set the Cancel property of the ListViewCancelEventArgs object to true.

For more information about how to handle events, see Consuming Events.

The following example shows how to create an ItemCanceling event handler.
