Represents the method that handles the PageIndexChanging event of a GridView control.

public delegate void GridViewPageEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, GridViewPageEventArgs ^ e);

public delegate void GridViewPageEventHandler(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e);

type GridViewPageEventHandler = delegate of obj * GridViewPageEventArgs -> unit

Public Delegate Sub GridViewPageEventHandler(sender As Object, e As GridViewPageEventArgs)

Parameters

sender: Object

The source of the event.

e: GridViewPageEventArgs

A GridViewPageEventArgs object that contains the event data.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically add a GridViewPageEventHandler delegate to the PageIndexChanging event of a GridView control.

Remarks

The GridView control raises the PageIndexChanging event when a pager button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Page") within the control is clicked, but before the GridView control handles the paging operation. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as canceling the paging operation, whenever this event occurs.

Note

Pager buttons are usually located in the pager row of a GridView control.

When you create a GridViewPageEventHandler 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.

Extension Methods

GetMethodInfo(Delegate)

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