IEditableObject Interface

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Provides functionality to commit or rollback changes to an object that is used as a data source.

Namespace:   System.ComponentModel
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public interface class IEditableObject

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodBeginEdit()

Begins an edit on an object.

System_CAPS_pubmethodCancelEdit()

Discards changes since the last BeginEdit call.

System_CAPS_pubmethodEndEdit()

Pushes changes since the last BeginEdit or IBindingList::AddNew call into the underlying object.

This interface is typically used to capture the BeginEdit, EndEdit, and CancelEdit semantics of a DataRowView.

The following sample provides a simple implementation of the IEditableObject interface. The Customer class stores customer information and can be used as a collection for a customer database. This sample assumes that you have used the CustomerList class that can be found in sample in the IBindingList class.

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
public ref class Customer: public IEditableObject
{
private:
   ref struct CustomerData
   {
   internal:
      String^ id;
      String^ firstName;
      String^ lastName;
   };

   CustomerData^ backupData;

         inTxn = true;
         Console::WriteLine( "BeginEdit - {0}", this->backupData->lastName );

      Console::WriteLine( "End BeginEdit" );
