FormViewInsertEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that handles the ItemInserting event of a FormView control.

public delegate void FormViewInsertEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, FormViewInsertEventArgs ^ e);
public delegate void FormViewInsertEventHandler(object sender, FormViewInsertEventArgs e);
type FormViewInsertEventHandler = delegate of obj * FormViewInsertEventArgs -> unit
Public Delegate Sub FormViewInsertEventHandler(sender As Object, e As FormViewInsertEventArgs)

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
FormViewInsertEventArgs

A FormViewInsertEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically add a FormViewInsertEventHandler delegate to the ItemInserting event of a FormView control.

Remarks

The FormView control raises the ItemInserting event when an Insert button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Insert") within the control is clicked, but before the FormView control inserts the record. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as HTML encoding or validating the values of a record before inserting it in the data source, whenever this event occurs.

When you create a FormViewInsertEventHandler 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.
