Remarks

The RowCommand event is raised when a button is clicked in the GridView control. This enables you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine whenever this event occurs.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnRowCommand 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 OnRowCommand(GridViewCommandEventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnRowCommand(GridViewCommandEventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
