DataBoundControl.ValidateDataSource(Object) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.UI.WebControls

Assembly:

System.Web.dll

Verifies that the object a data-bound control binds to is one it can work with.

protected:
 override void ValidateDataSource(System::Object ^ dataSource);

protected override void ValidateDataSource (object dataSource);

override this.ValidateDataSource : obj -> unit

Protected Overrides Sub ValidateDataSource (dataSource As Object)

Parameters

dataSource

Object

An object set to the DataSource property.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

The object passed by the dataSource parameter is not null or a recognized type.

Remarks

The ValidateDataSource method is only called in the BaseDataBoundControl class's mutator (set accessor) for the DataSource property. The DataBoundControl class checks the type of the object that is set for the DataSource property to ensure that it is an instance of the IDataSource, IListSource, or IEnumerable interface.
