AddingNewEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that will handle the AddingNew event.

C#
public delegate void AddingNewEventHandler(object sender, AddingNewEventArgs e);
C#
public delegate void AddingNewEventHandler(object? sender, AddingNewEventArgs e);

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event, typically a data container or data-bound collection.

e
AddingNewEventArgs

A AddingNewEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the AddingNewEventHandler delegate to handle the BindingSource.AddingNew event. This code example is part of a larger example provided in How to: Customize Item Addition with the Windows Forms BindingSource.

C#
// This event handler provides custom item-creation behavior.
void customersBindingSource_AddingNew(
    object sender, 
    AddingNewEventArgs e)
{
    e.NewObject = DemoCustomer.CreateNewCustomer();
}

Remarks

The BindingSource.AddingNew event occurs prior to adding a new item to a collection, typically in data-binding scenarios. The handler of this event can supply the new item to be added, overriding the standard action of the collection class. This is accomplished by setting the NewObject property of the AddingNewEventArgs parameter e to this new item. Typically this item must be of a type expected by the recipient collection, or the collection will throw an exception of type InvalidCastException.

This event is commonly used in data-binding scenarios, within classes such as System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource and System.ComponentModel.BindingList<T>.

When you create an AddingNewEventHandler 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.
