 virtual void OnUpdating(System::Web::UI::WebControls::ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs ^ e);

protected virtual void OnUpdating (System.Web.UI.WebControls.ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs e);

abstract member OnUpdating : System.Web.UI.WebControls.ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs -> unit
override this.OnUpdating : System.Web.UI.WebControls.ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs -> unit

Protected Overridable Sub OnUpdating (e As ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs)

Parameters

e: ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs

An ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a DropDownList control, TextBox controls, and several ObjectDataSource controls to update data. The DropDownList displays the name of a NorthwindEmployee, while the TextBox controls are used to enter and update address information. Because the UpdateParameters collection contains a ControlParameter object that is bound to the selected value of the DropDownList, the button that triggers the Update operation is enabled only after an employee is selected.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnUpdating method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding the OnUpdating(ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs) method in a derived class, be sure to call the OnUpdating(ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs) method for the base class so that registered delegates receive the event.
