Handling DataTable Events

Стаття
09/15/2021

The DataTable object provides a series of events that can be processed by an application. The following table describes DataTable events.

Event	Description
Initialized	Occurs after the EndInit method of a `DataTable` is called. This event is intended primarily to support design-time scenarios.
ColumnChanged	Occurs after a value has been successfully changed in a DataColumn.
ColumnChanging	Occurs when a value has been submitted for a `DataColumn`.
RowChanged	Occurs after a `DataColumn` value or the RowState of a DataRow in the `DataTable` has been changed successfully.
RowChanging	Occurs when a change has been submitted for a `DataColumn` value or the `RowState` of a `DataRow` in the `DataTable`.
RowDeleted	Occurs after a `DataRow` in the `DataTable` has been marked as `Deleted`.
RowDeleting	Occurs before a `DataRow` in the `DataTable` is marked as `Deleted`.
TableCleared	Occurs after a call to the Clear method of the `DataTable` has successfully cleared every `DataRow`.
TableClearing	Occurs after the `Clear` method is called but before the `Clear` operation begins.
TableNewRow	Occurs after a new `DataRow` is created by a call to the `NewRow` method of the `DataTable`.
Disposed	Occurs when the `DataTable` is `Disposed`. Inherited from MarshalByValueComponent.

Note

Most operations that add or delete rows do not raise the ColumnChanged and ColumnChanging events. However, the ReadXml method does raise ColumnChanged and ColumnChanging events, unless the XmlReadMode is set to DiffGram or is set to Auto when the XML document being read is a DiffGram.

Warning

Data corruption can occur if data is modified in a DataSet from which the RowChanged event is raised. No exception will be raised if such data corruption occurs.

The Constraints property holds a ConstraintCollection instance. The ConstraintCollection class exposes a CollectionChanged event. This event fires when a constraint is added, modified, or removed from the ConstraintCollection.

The Columns property holds a DataColumnCollection instance. The DataColumnCollection class exposes a CollectionChanged event. This event fires when a DataColumn is added, modified, or removed from the DataColumnCollection. Modifications that cause the event to fire include changes to the name, type, expression or ordinal position of a column.

The Tables property of a DataSet holds a DataTableCollection instance. The DataTableCollection class exposes both a CollectionChanged and a CollectionChanging event. These events fire when a DataTable is added to or removed from the DataSet.

Changes to DataRows can also trigger events for an associated DataView. The DataView class exposes a ListChanged event that fires when a DataColumn value changes or when the composition or sort order of the view changes. The DataRowView class exposes a PropertyChanged event that fires when an associated DataColumn value changes.

Sequence of Operations

Here is the sequence of operations that occur when a DataRow is added, modified, or deleted:

Create the proposed record and apply any changes.
Check constraints for non-expression columns.
Raise the RowChanging or RowDeleting events as applicable.
Set the proposed record to be the current record.
Update any associated indexes.
Raise ListChanged events for associated DataView objects and PropertyChanged events for associated DataRowView objects.
Evaluate all expression columns, but delay checking any constraints on these columns.
Raise ListChanged events for associated DataView objects and PropertyChanged events for associated DataRowView objects affected by the expression column evaluations.
Raise RowChanged or RowDeleted events as applicable.
Check constraints on expression columns.

Note

Changes to expression columns never raise DataTable events. Changes to expression columns only raise DataView and DataRowView events. Expression columns can have dependencies on multiple other columns, and can be evaluated multiple times during a single DataRow operation. Each expression evaluation raises events, and a single DataRow operation can raise multiple ListChanged and PropertyChanged events when expression columns are affected, possibly including multiple events for the same expression column.

Warning

Do not throw a NullReferenceException within the RowChanged event handler. If a NullReferenceException is thrown within the RowChanged event of a DataTable, then the DataTable will be corrupted.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create event handlers for the RowChanged, RowChanging, RowDeleted, RowDeleting, ColumnChanged, ColumnChanging, TableNewRow, TableCleared, and TableClearing events. Each event handler displays output in the console window when it is fired.

static void DataTableEvents()
{
    DataTable table = new("Customers");
    // Add two columns, id and name.
    table.Columns.Add("id", typeof(int));
    table.Columns.Add("name", typeof(string));

    // Set the primary key.
    table.Columns["id"].Unique = true;
    table.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { table.Columns["id"] };

    // Add a RowChanged event handler.
    table.RowChanged += Row_Changed;

    // Add a RowChanging event handler.
    table.RowChanging += Row_Changing;

    // Add a RowDeleted event handler.
    table.RowDeleted += Row_Deleted;

    // Add a RowDeleting event handler.
    table.RowDeleting += Row_Deleting;

    // Add a ColumnChanged event handler.
    table.ColumnChanged +=
        Column_Changed;

    // Add a ColumnChanging event handler.
    table.ColumnChanging +=
        Column_Changing;

    // Add a TableNewRow event handler.
    table.TableNewRow +=
        Table_NewRow;

    // Add a TableCleared event handler.
    table.TableCleared +=
        Table_Cleared;

    // Add a TableClearing event handler.
    table.TableClearing +=
        Table_Clearing;

    // Add a customer.
    DataRow row = table.NewRow();
    row["id"] = 1;
    row["name"] = "Customer1";
    table.Rows.Add(row);

    table.AcceptChanges();

    // Change the customer name.
    table.Rows[0]["name"] = "ChangedCustomer1";

    // Delete the row.
    table.Rows[0].Delete();

    // Clear the table.
    table.Clear();
}

static void Row_Changed(object sender, DataRowChangeEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Row_Changed Event: name={0}; action={1}",
        e.Row["name"], e.Action);

static void Row_Changing(object sender, DataRowChangeEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Row_Changing Event: name={0}; action={1}",
        e.Row["name"], e.Action);

static void Row_Deleted(object sender, DataRowChangeEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Row_Deleted Event: name={0}; action={1}",
        e.Row["name", DataRowVersion.Original], e.Action);

static void Row_Deleting(object sender,
DataRowChangeEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Row_Deleting Event: name={0}; action={1}",
        e.Row["name"], e.Action);

static void Column_Changed(object sender, DataColumnChangeEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Column_Changed Event: ColumnName={0}; RowState={1}",
        e.Column.ColumnName, e.Row.RowState);

static void Column_Changing(object sender, DataColumnChangeEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Column_Changing Event: ColumnName={0}; RowState={1}",
        e.Column.ColumnName, e.Row.RowState);

static void Table_NewRow(object sender,
    DataTableNewRowEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Table_NewRow Event: RowState={0}",
        e.Row.RowState.ToString());

static void Table_Cleared(object sender, DataTableClearEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Table_Cleared Event: TableName={0}; Rows={1}",
        e.TableName, e.Table.Rows.Count.ToString());

static void Table_Clearing(object sender, DataTableClearEventArgs e) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Table_Clearing Event: TableName={0}; Rows={1}",
        e.TableName, e.Table.Rows.Count.ToString());
