ObjectChangedEventArgs.OldValue Property

Specifies the old value of a changed property.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

public object OldValue { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property OldValue As Object

Property Value

Type	Description
Object	The old value of a changed property.

Remarks

The IObjectSpace.ObjectChanged event can be triggered when an end-user starts modifying any property value in a UI. In this instance, the event is triggered, but the ObjectChangedEventArgs.NewValue and OldValue properties are equal. This is the designed behavior. So, if you want to execute a custom activity when a property value change occurs, check the equality of these properties preliminarily.
