Event Data

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

Property	Description
DisplayErrorMode	Gets or sets whether to display an error message.
Handled	Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
OriginalSource	Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible Source adjustment by a parent class. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
Result	Gets or sets information about the error (its type and description).
ResultAsync	Gets or sets a task that asynchronously deletes rows from the underlying data source (database).
RoutedEvent	Gets or sets the RoutedEvent associated with this RoutedEventArgs instance. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
RowHandles	Gets handles of rows that a user wants to delete.
Rows	Gets rows that a user wants to delete.
Source	Gets a control (GridControl or TreeListControl) that raised the event.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
OnSetSource(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a notification callback entry point whenever the value of the Source property of an instance changes. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
