The following example demonstrates how to use the RowEditing event to cancel the editing operation if the user attempts to edit the record for a company in the United States.

<script runat="server">

  void CustomersGridView_RowEditing(Object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
  {
    
    // Get the country for the row being edited. For this example, the
    // country is contained in the seventh column (index 6). 
    String country = CustomersGridView.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].Cells[6].Text;

    // For this example, cancel the edit operation if the user attempts
    // to edit the record of a customer from the Unites States. 
    if (country == "USA")
    {
      // Cancel the edit operation.
      e.Cancel = true;
      Message.Text = "You cannot edit this record.";
    }

Remarks

The RowEditing event is raised when a row's Edit button is clicked, but before the GridView control enters edit mode. This enables you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as canceling the edit operation, whenever this event occurs.

A GridViewEditEventArgs object is passed to the event-handling method, which enables you to determine the index of the current row and to indicate that the edit operation should be canceled. To cancel the edit operation, set the Cancel property of the GridViewEditEventArgs object to true.

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.
