Remarks

The ItemCommand event is raised when a button within the DetailsView control is clicked. This allows you to provide an event handler that performs a custom routine whenever this event occurs.

A DetailsViewCommandEventArgs object is passed to the event handler, which allows you to determine the command name and command argument of the button clicked. To determine the index of the current record, use the PageIndex property.

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