SqlDataSourceView.OnUpdating(SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs) Method

Definition

Raises the Updating event before the SqlDataSource control attempts an update operation.

C#
protected virtual void OnUpdating(System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs e);

Parameters

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to display data that is retrieved from a Microsoft SQL Server database in a DropDownList control and update the record using a TextBox control. The example shows how you can use a DbTransaction object to add transaction context when using the SqlDataSource control to update data.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnUpdating method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding the OnUpdating(SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the OnUpdating(SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs) method for the base class so that registered delegates receive the event.
