ASPxGridView.RowUpdating Event

Enables you to prevent a row from being updated.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public event ASPxDataUpdatingEventHandler RowUpdating

VB.NET

Public Event RowUpdating As ASPxDataUpdatingEventHandler

Event Data

The RowUpdating event's data class is ASPxDataUpdatingEventArgs. 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.
Keys	Gets a dictionary of field name/value pairs that represent the primary key of the row to update.
NewValues	Gets a dictionary that contains the values of the non-key field name/value pairs in the row to be updated.
OldValues	Gets a dictionary that contains the original field name/value pairs in the row to be updated.

Remarks

The RowUpdating event occurs when a user has changed cell values and tries to pass them to the data source by clicking the Update command. To cancel the update operation, set the Cancel argument property to true.

If you use edit form templates, you should process the update manually in the RowUpdating event handler.

After a row has been updated, the RowUpdated event is raised.

Example

This example demonstrates how to use ASPxGridView to edit an in-memory data set with a master-detail relationship.

To enable this behavior, follow the steps below:

1. Handle the RowUpdating, RowInserting, and RowDeleting events and update the data source manually.

2. Set the cancel argument property to true and call the grid’s CancelEdit() method.

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="MasterGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" SettingsPager-PageSize="3"
    KeyFieldName="ID" OnRowUpdating="MasterGridView_RowUpdating" Width="588px" OnRowDeleting="MasterGridView_RowDeleting" OnRowInserting="MasterGridView_RowInserting">

            <dx:ASPxGridView ID="DetailGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" SettingsPager-PageSize="4"

                OnRowUpdating="MasterGridView_RowUpdating" Width="100%">

            </dx:ASPxGridView>
        </DetailRow>

C#

protected void MasterGridView_RowUpdating(object sender, DevExpress.Web.Data.ASPxDataUpdatingEventArgs e) {
    ds = (DataSet)Session["DataSet"];
    ASPxGridView gridView = (ASPxGridView)sender;
    DataTable dataTable = gridView.GetMasterRowKeyValue() != null ? ds.Tables[1] : ds.Tables[0];
    DataRow row = dataTable.Rows.Find(e.Keys[0]);
    IDictionaryEnumerator enumerator = e.NewValues.GetEnumerator();
    enumerator.Reset();
    while (enumerator.MoveNext())
        row[enumerator.Key.ToString()] = enumerator.Value;
    gridView.CancelEdit();
    e.Cancel = true;
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub MasterGridView_RowUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.Web.Data.ASPxDataUpdatingEventArgs)
    ds = CType(Session("DataSet"), DataSet)
    Dim gridView As ASPxGridView = CType(sender, ASPxGridView)
    Dim dataTable As DataTable = If(gridView.GetMasterRowKeyValue() IsNot Nothing, ds.Tables(1), ds.Tables(0))
    Dim row As DataRow = dataTable.Rows.Find(e.Keys(0))
    Dim enumerator As IDictionaryEnumerator = e.NewValues.GetEnumerator()
    enumerator.Reset()
    While enumerator.MoveNext()
        row(enumerator.Key.ToString()) = enumerator.Value
    End While

    gridView.CancelEdit()
    e.Cancel = True
End Sub
