Remarks

The ItemDeleted event is raised when an item's Delete button is clicked or the DeleteItem method is called, after the ListView control deletes the item. (A Delete button is a button control whose CommandName property is set to "Delete".) This enables you to perform a custom routine whenever this event occurs, such as checking the results of the delete operation.

A ListViewDeletedEventArgs object is passed to the event handler, which enables you to determine the number of rows that were affected in the data source. It also lets you determine what exceptions might have occurred. You can indicate whether the exception was handled in the event handler by setting the ExceptionHandled property of the ListViewDeletedEventArgs object to true.

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.
