Remarks
Use the Values property to access the values of the non-key fields for the record to be deleted. For example, you can use these values to verify the record before deleting it, or to keep a log of deleted records.
Note
This property does not contain the key field or fields. To access the name/value pair values for the key field or fields, use the Keys property.
The Values property returns an OrderedDictionary object that implements the System.Collections.Specialized.IOrderedDictionary interface. The OrderedDictionary object contains System.Collections.DictionaryEntry objects that represent the non-key fields. To access the field names, use the Keys property of the OrderedDictionary object. Similarly, you can access the field values by using the Values property.
Note
As a shortcut, you can also use the indexer of the OrderedDictionary object to access the field values. The advantage in using the indexer is that it returns field values directly. Data source controls that rely on the field order (such as AccessDataSource) can access field values only by index.
The values in the Values collection do not get passed to the data source control. If the data source requires any of these values, you should add these values to the Keys collection.
The Keys and Values properties are read-only; however, you can modify the field values of the OrderedDictionary object. If you change the key and non-key field values, the corresponding record will be deleted from the data source.
