ICellProvider.CellReady event

NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Occurs when a cell changes such as when a cell is selected or updated.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartField instead")> _
Event CellReady As CellReadyEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As ICellProvider
Dim handler As CellReadyEventHandler

AddHandler instance.CellReady, handler
[ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartField instead")]
event CellReadyEventHandler CellReady

Remarks

The CellReady event should also be used to send out the initial value of the cell if appropriate. The CellReady event occurs every time the PartCommunicationMain event handler runs. For client-side connections, the CellReady event can occur anytime after PartCommunicationMain runs.

Examples

The following code example shows an overridden PartCommunicationMain method that creates a CellReadyEventArgs data structure to contain the provided cell value, sets the cell value, and then fires the CellReady event. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ICellProvider interface.

      ' Step #10: Override the PartCommunicationMain() method.
      ' The PartCommunicationMain method is called by the Web Part 
      ' infrastructure on the client during 
      ' the ASP.Net PreRender event to allow the part to pass its 
      ' primary data to the other connected parts.
      ' It is important to always fire the CellReady event. Some parts
      ' may not behave properly if they are left waiting for this 
      ' information.
      Public Overrides Sub PartCommunicationMain()
            ' Check if connected.
            If _connected Then
                ' Create the CellReadyEventArgs data structure for the 
                ' CellProviderInit event.
                Dim cellReadyArgs As New CellReadyEventArgs()

                ' If the user clicked the button, then send the value.
                If _cellClicked Then
                    ' Set the cell to the value of the TextBox text
                    ' This is the value that will be sent to the 
                    ' Consumer
                    cellReadyArgs.Cell = _cellInput.Text
                Else
                    ' The user didn't actually click the button
                    ' so just send an empty string to the consumer.
                    cellReadyArgs.Cell = ""
                End If

                ' Fire the CellReady event.
                ' The Consumer will receive the cell value in its 
                ' CellReady event handler
                RaiseEvent CellReady(Me, cellReadyArgs)
            End If
        End Sub

        {

            // CellProviderInit event.
            CellReadyEventArgs cellReadyArgs = new

            // Fire the CellReady event.
            // The Consumer will receive the cell value in its 
            // CellReady event handler
