public System.Collections.Specialized.IOrderedDictionary Values { get; }

Value

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

Use the FormViewDeleteEventArgs.Values property to access the values of the non-key fields for the record to be deleted. For example, you can use these values to verify the record before deleting it, or to keep a log of deleted records.

Note:

This property does not contain the key field or fields. To access the name/value pair values for the key field or fields, use the FormViewDeleteEventArgs.Keys property.

The FormViewDeleteEventArgs.Values property returns an System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary object that implements the System.Collections.Specialized.IOrderedDictionary interface. The System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary object contains DictionaryEntry objects that represent the non-key fields. To access the field names, use the System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary.Keys property of the System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary object. Similarly, you can access the field values by using the System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary.Values property.

Note:

As a shortcut, you can also use the indexer of the System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary object to access the field values. The advantage in using the indexer is that it returns field values directly. Data source controls that rely on the field order (such as System.Web.UI.WebControls.AccessDataSource) can access field values only by index.

The values in the FormViewDeleteEventArgs.Values collection do not get passed to the data source control. If the data source requires any of these values, you should add these values to the FormViewDeleteEventArgs.Keys collection.

The FormViewDeleteEventArgs.Keys and FormViewDeleteEventArgs.Values properties are read-only; however, you can modify the field values of the System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary object. If you change the key and non-key field values, the corresponding record will be deleted from the data source.
