Using the RowUpdating event in GridView without an SQL Update command

I have a GridView that is pulling data from a SQL database using a
Select command. I would like to use GridView's built-in "Edit, Update,
Cancel" functionality because it is very handy.

However, when the user clicks the Update button I DON'T want to run an
SQL UPDATE command on the database, I just want to handle it myself.

So far to get around this I just create a dummy SQL query that never
updates any rows and let it complete, then do the work I want to do in
RowUpdating.

If I cancel the Update using e.Cancel, the GridView stays in the "Edit"
state, when I want it to go back to the "View" state.

Is there anyway to not specify an UPDATE command at all? If I take it
out it gives me an error.

Any ideas?

Hi, I'm working on a WebService project. I'm trying to validate data before they are updated to the database by handling the RowUpdating event for a SqlDataAdapter. The data being handled has DataRelation which is related to another DataTable. As for that, I also need to retrieve the DataRelation from the current row being updated. I wrote a code which look something like this, Dim relation As DataRelation

The controls (textboxes) in the gridview row being updated have the old, pre user updated values in the RowUpdating event. Does anyone have an idea why? Thank you, Scott

Hi, I have been struggling with the GridView the whole day, but can not get this solved. The rowupdating event in my Gridview doesn't give me the new values only the old ones. In my GridView I do not use a DataSourceObject and can therefore not use e.NewValues or e.OldValues The columns used are template columns

Hi, I am using a GridView to present data in a DataTable, which I store only in ViewState and when the user hits the "OK" button the rows in the DataTable will be used to execute transactions. I need the ability to insert new rows (which is easily done with DataTable.Rows.Add(newRow) and rebinding) and then present a row with different TemplateFields for those rows (I need multiple rows in this insert state).

Hi I have a gridview that binds to an object datasource. I added an update method to the object data source through the wizard. The update method takes an object as input and returns an object of the same type. Anyhow it looks like the code is trying to run the update method when the user selects the update button (command field button on the grid). It does not work since the object is not passed in. I am guessing I would need to...

In a Gridview control, I have several BoundFields, and also a couple of TemplateFields. In the Rowupdating event, I try to retrieve one of the BoundFields (i.e. 4th column of the Gridview control) for comparision purpose. However; I got null string everytime. On the other hand, I'm able to retrieve the dropdownbox value in the TemplateField. I would like to know what I did wrong with the BoundField. Thanks. Code fragment:

I have some custom rowupdating code in my gridview. The user clicks edit, edits the record, clicks update and it runs my code. The code runs fine but the row is still in an 'update' mode. How can I change it back to 'normal' mode, as if they clicked cancel? e.cancel = true doesnt seem to work. Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
