DetailsViewDeleteEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that handles the ItemDeleting event of a DetailsView control.

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

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
DetailsViewDeleteEventArgs

A DetailsViewDeleteEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to programmatically add a DetailsViewDeleteEventHandler delegate to the ItemDeleting event of a DetailsView control.

Remarks

The DetailsView control raises the ItemDeleting event when a Delete button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Delete") within the control is clicked, but after the DetailsView control deletes the record. This allows you to provide an event handler that performs a custom routine, such as checking the results of a delete operation, whenever this event occurs.

When you create a DetailsViewDeleteEventHandler 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.

Extension Methods
