Control..::.DataBind Method (Boolean)

Updated: November 2007

Binds a data source to the invoked server control and all its child controls with an option to raise the DataBinding event.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Protected Overridable Sub DataBind ( _
    raiseOnDataBinding As Boolean _
)
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim raiseOnDataBinding As Boolean

Me.DataBind(raiseOnDataBinding)
C#
protected virtual void DataBind(
    bool raiseOnDataBinding
)
Visual C++
protected:
virtual void DataBind(
    bool raiseOnDataBinding
)
J#
protected void DataBind(
    boolean raiseOnDataBinding
)
JScript
protected function DataBind(
    raiseOnDataBinding : boolean
)

Parameters

raiseOnDataBinding
Type: System..::.Boolean

true if the DataBinding event is raised; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Use the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method in a scenario when your custom control overrides the DataBind method and implements the IDataItemContainer interface. In this scenario, the custom control calls the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method with raiseOnDataBinding set to false to ensure that the base class's DataBind method gets called.

The Control..::.DataBind()()() method invokes the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method with raiseOnDataBinding set to true.

Note:

Calling the Control..::.DataBind(Boolean) method with raiseOnDataBinding set to false causes any child controls to be data bound with the Control..::.DataBind()()() method.
