FormViewCommandEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that handles the ItemCommand event of a FormView control. This class cannot be inherited.

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

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
FormViewCommandEventArgs

A FormViewCommandEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically add a FormViewCommandEventHandler delegate to the ItemCommand event of a FormView control.

Remarks

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

Buttons within a FormView control can also invoke some of the built-in functionality of the control. To perform one of these operations, set the CommandName property of a button to one of the values in the following table.

CommandName value Description
"Cancel" Cancels an edit or insert operation and returns the FormView control to the mode specified by the DefaultMode property. Raises the ModeChanged and ModeChanging events.
"Delete" Deletes the current record. Raises the ItemDeleted and ItemDeleting events.
"Edit" Puts the FormView control in edit mode. Raises the ModeChanged and ModeChanging events.
"Insert" Inserts the current record in the data source. Raises the ItemInserted and ItemInserting events.
"New" Puts the FormView control in insert mode. Raises the ModeChanged and ModeChanging events.
"Page" Performs a paging operation. Set the CommandArgument property of the button to "First", "Last", "Next", "Prev", or a page number to specify the type of paging operation to perform. Raises the PageIndexChanged and PageIndexChanging events.
"Update" Updates the current record in the data source. Raises the ItemUpdated and ItemUpdating events.

Although the ItemCommand event is raised when a button listed in the previous table is clicked, it is recommended that you handle the events listed in the table for the operation.

When you create a FormViewCommandEventHandler 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.
