GridViewEditEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that handles the RowEditing event of a GridView control.

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

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
GridViewEditEventArgs

A GridViewEditEventArgs object that contains the event data.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically add a GridViewEditEventHandler delegate to the RowEditing event of a GridView control.

Remarks

The RowEditing event is raised when an Edit button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Edit") is clicked, but before the GridView control enters edit mode. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as canceling the edit operation, whenever this event occurs.

When you create a GridViewEditEventHandler 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

Gets an object that represents the method represented by the specified delegate.
