ASPxGridView.AddNewRow() Method

Adds a new record.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

public void AddNewRow()

VB.NET

Public Sub AddNewRow

Remarks

The AddNewRow method switches the ASPxGridView to edit mode and allows the values of the new row to be edited. To add the new record to the underlying datasource, call the ASPxGridView.UpdateEdit (or ASPxClientGridView.UpdateEdit) method. End-users can save the changes made using the Update command.

To initialize row values in code, handle the ASPxGridView.InitNewRow event.

Example

The following example shows how to make the form used for row editing always visible. To implement this, you should add some lines of code onto the form page.

Default.aspx

    DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1" KeyFieldName="CategoryID" OnBeforeGetCallbackResult="ASPxGridView1_BeforeGetCallbackResult" >

        </dx:GridViewDataTextColumn>
        <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="CategoryName" />

    UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Categories] SET [CategoryName] = ?, [Description] = ? WHERE [CategoryID] = ?">

        <asp:Parameter Name="Description" Type="String" />
