ASPxGridView.RowInserting Event

Enables you to cancel adding a new row.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public event ASPxDataInsertingEventHandler RowInserting

VB.NET

Public Event RowInserting As ASPxDataInsertingEventHandler

Event Data

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

Property	Description
Cancel	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the event should be canceled. Inherited from CancelEventArgs.
NewValues	Gets a dictionary that contains the new field name/value pairs for the row to be inserted.

Remarks

The RowInserting event occurs when an end-user tries to save the newly created row by clicking the Update command. To cancel the insert operation, set the event parameter’s Cancel property to true.

To create a new row, click the New command or call the ASPxGridView.AddNewRow method.

After a new row has been added to the ASPxGridView, the ASPxGridView.RowInserted event is raised.

Example

This demo shows how to edit data from an in-memory dataset using the ASPxGridView. To do this, you should:

• handle the RowUpdating, RowInserting, and RowDeleting) events and update the data source manually (the e.NewValues dictionary contains the input value);
• set the e.Cancel parameter to true and call the ASPxGridView.CancelEdit method.
