DetailsViewInsertEventHandler Delegate

Definition

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

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

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
DetailsViewInsertEventArgs

A DetailsViewInsertEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

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

Remarks

The DetailsView control raises the ItemInserting event when an Insert button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Insert") within the control is clicked, but before the DetailsView control inserts the record. This allows you to provide an event handler that performs a custom routine, such as HTML-encoding the values of a record before inserting it in the data source, whenever this event occurs.

When you create a DetailsViewInsertEventHandler 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
