GridViewSelectEventHandler Delegate

Definition

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

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

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
GridViewSelectEventArgs

A GridViewSelectEventArgs object that contains the event data.

Examples

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

Remarks

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

When you create a GridViewSelectEventHandler 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
