Remarks

Use the NewValues property to access the new field values for the record to update. For example, you can use these values to keep a log of updated records.

Note

This property does not contain the key fields. To access the key fields, use the Keys property. You can also access the original field values by using the OldValues property.

The NewValues property returns an object that implements the IOrderedDictionary interface. The object contains DictionaryEntry objects that represent the fields of the record to update.

Note

As a shortcut, you can also use the indexer of the IOrderedDictionary object to access the field values directly.
