Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Represents the method that handles the ItemCommand event of a DetailsView control.
public delegate void DetailsViewCommandEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, DetailsViewCommandEventArgs ^ e);
public delegate void DetailsViewCommandEventHandler(object sender, DetailsViewCommandEventArgs e);
type DetailsViewCommandEventHandler = delegate of obj * DetailsViewCommandEventArgs -> unit
Public Delegate Sub DetailsViewCommandEventHandler(sender As Object, e As DetailsViewCommandEventArgs)
Parameters
- sender
- Object
The source of the event.
A DetailsViewCommandEventArgs that contains the event data.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to programmatically add a DetailsViewCommandEventHandler delegate to the ItemCommand event of a DetailsView control. This example uses the single-file coding model.

Remarks
The DetailsView control raises the ItemCommand event when a button within a ButtonField, CommandField, or TemplateField row field is clicked. This allows you to provide an event handler that performs a custom routine whenever this event occurs.
Note
The DetailsView control also raises other specialized events when certain buttons are clicked (buttons with the CommandName
property set to "Delete", "Insert", "Page", or "Update"). When using one of these buttons, you should consider using one of the specialized events provided by the control (such as ItemDeleted or ItemDeleting).
When you create a DetailsViewCommandEventHandler 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. |
