ObjectDataSourceDisposingEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that will handle the ObjectDisposing event of the ObjectDataSource control.

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

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event, the ObjectDataSource.

Examples

This section contains two code examples. The first code example demonstrates how to use an ObjectDataSource control with a business object and a GridView control to display information. The second code example provides an example middle-tier business object that the first code example uses.

The following code example demonstrates how to use an ObjectDataSource control with a business object and a GridView control to display information. You might work with a business object that is very expensive (in terms of time or resources) to create for every data operation that your Web page performs. One way to work with an expensive object might be to create an instance of it once, and then cache it for subsequent operations instead of creating and destroying it for every data operation. This example demonstrates this pattern. You can handle the ObjectCreating event to check the cache first for an object, and then create an instance, only if one is not already cached. Then, handle the ObjectDisposing event to cache the business object for future use, instead of destroying it. In this example, the CancelEventArgs.Cancel property of the ObjectDataSourceDisposingEventArgs class is set to true, to direct the ObjectDataSource to not call Dispose on the instance.

The following code example provides an example middle-tier business object that the preceding code example uses. The code example consists of a basic business object, defined by the EmployeeLogic class, which is a class that maintains state and encapsulates business logic. For a complete working example, you must compile this code as a library, and then use these classes from an ASP page.

namespace Samples.AspNet.CS {

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
  //
  // EmployeeLogic is a stateless business object that encapsulates
  // the operations you can perform on a NorthwindEmployee object.
  //
  public class EmployeeLogic {

    public EmployeeLogic () : this(DateTime.Now) {        
    }
    
    public EmployeeLogic (DateTime creationTime) { 
        _creationTime = creationTime;
    }

    private DateTime _creationTime;
    
    // Returns a collection of NorthwindEmployee objects.
    public ICollection GetCreateTime () {
      ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
      
      // Returns creation time for this example.      
      al.Add("The business object that you are using was created at " + _creationTime);
      
      return al;
    }
  }
}
Imports System.Collections
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls

Namespace Samples.AspNet.VB

  Public Class EmployeeLogic
    
    
    Public Sub New() 
        MyClass.New(DateTime.Now)
    
    End Sub
    
    
    Public Sub New(ByVal creationTime As DateTime) 
        _creationTime = creationTime
    
    End Sub
    
    Private _creationTime As DateTime
    
    
    ' Returns a collection of NorthwindEmployee objects.
    Public Function GetCreateTime() As ICollection 
        Dim al As New ArrayList()
        
        ' Returns creation time for this example.      
        al.Add("The business object that you are using was created at " + _creationTime)
        
        Return al
    
    End Function 'GetCreateTime
  End Class
End Namespace ' Samples.AspNet.VB

Remarks

When you create an ObjectDataSourceDisposingEventHandler 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 how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.

Extension Methods

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