ASPxGridView.InitNewRow Event

Enables you to initialize added rows.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public event ASPxDataInitNewRowEventHandler InitNewRow

VB.NET

Public Event InitNewRow As ASPxDataInitNewRowEventHandler

Event Data

The InitNewRow event's data class is ASPxDataInitNewRowEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
NewValues	Gets a dictionary that contains the new field name/value pairs for the new row.

Remarks

The InitNewRow event is raised when a new row is added to the ASPxGridView. This occurs when:

• the ASPxClientGridView.AddNewRow or ASPxGridView.AddNewRow method is called;
• an end-user has clicked on the New command button.

Use the event parameter’s NewValues property to specify the values in the new row. Note that you can initialize values only for those columns that are visible within the Edit Form or In-Line Edit Row. To specify values of hidden columns, handle the ASPxGridView.RowInserting event.

Example

In this example the ASPxGridView.InitNewRow event is handled to initialize the new record’s field values with default values.

The image below shows the result:

C#

protected void grid_InitNewRow(object sender, DevExpress.Web.Data.ASPxDataInitNewRowEventArgs e) {
    e.NewValues["BirthDate"] = new DateTime(1970, 1, 10);
    e.NewValues["Title"] = "Sales Representative";
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub ASPxGridView1_InitNewRow(ByVal sender As Object,_
    ByVal e As DevExpress.Web.Data.ASPxDataInitNewRowEventArgs) Handles ASPxGridView1.InitNewRow
    e.NewValues("BirthDate") = New DateTime(1970, 1, 10)
    e.NewValues("Title") = "Sales Representative"
End Sub
