#Property Value

A task that allows you to asynchronously post changes to an underlying data source (database).

#Remarks

Run Demo: Virtual Sources - Editing

  1. Set the ColumnBase.AllowEditing property to true for the columns that end users can edit.

  2. Set the TableView.ShowUpdateRowButtons property to OnCellEditorOpen / OnCellValueChange to enable Edit Entire Row mode.

  3. Handle the GridViewBase.ValidateRow event and set the UpdateRowResult property to a task that asynchronously saves the changes to an underlying data source (database).

<dxg:GridControl x:Name="grid">
    <dxg:GridControl.Columns>
        <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Subject" IsSmart="True" AllowEditing="true"/>
        <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="User" IsSmart="True" AllowEditing="true"/>
        <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Created" IsSmart="True" AllowEditing="true"/>
        <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Votes" IsSmart="True" AllowEditing="true"/>
        <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Priority" IsSmart="True" AllowEditing="true"/>
    </dxg:GridControl.Columns>
    <dxg:GridControl.View>
        <dxg:TableView ValidateRow="TableView_ValidateRow" ShowUpdateRowButtons="OnCellValueChange" />
    </dxg:GridControl.View>
</dxg:GridControl> 
private void TableView_ValidateRow(object sender, GridRowValidationEventArgs e) {    
    e.UpdateRowResult = Task.Run(() => {      
        IssuesService.UpdateRow(e.Row as IssueData);
    });
} 

Use the ValidationEventArgs.IsValid property to specify whether a row’s values are valid. Use the ValidationEventArgs.ErrorType and ValidationEventArgs.ErrorContent properties to display an error message.

private void TableView_ValidateRow(object sender, GridRowValidationEventArgs e) {    
    e.UpdateRowResult = Task.Run(() => {      
        if (!IssuesService.ServerIsConnected) {
            e.IsValid = false;
            e.ErrorContent = "Server is disconnected.";
            e.ErrorType = DevExpress.XtraEditors.DXErrorProvider.ErrorType.Critical;
            return;
        }
        IssuesService.UpdateRow(e.Row as IssueData);
    });
} 

You can allow users to cancel the Update operation, for example, when they click the Cancel button. To do that, set the GridRowValidationEventArgs.UseCancellationToken property to true and use the GridRowValidationEventArgs.CancellationToken in a cancel function.

C#
private void On_ValidateRow(object sender, GridRowValidationEventArgs e) {
    // ...
    e.UseCancellationToken = true;
    e.Register(() => DoSomethingToCancelOperation())
    e.ResultAsync = Task.Run(() => {
        // ...
        e.CancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
        // ...
    });
    // ...
}
