System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsView.UpdateItem Method

Updates the current record in the data source.

Syntax

public virtual void UpdateItem (bool causesValidation)

Parameters

causesValidation
true to perform page validation when the method is called; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsView control is in edit mode, use the DetailsView.UpdateItem(bool) method to programmatically update the current record in the data source. This method is commonly used when you need to update the current record from outside of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsView control, such as from a different control on the page.

Note:

The System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsView control must be in edit mode when this method is called; otherwise, an System.Web.HttpException exception is thrown.

To specify whether page validation is performed before the update operation, use the causesValidation parameter. Calling this method also raises the DetailsView.ItemUpdated and DetailsView.ItemUpdating events.

Requirements

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
