GridView: Cancel Update using vb Code.

[Ed Warren]

I have a gridview. It has the duty edit button.
when I click the update button
the updating event fires
(all is as I want)
instead of doing an update, I need to capture the new data --done that using
the event e variable. (still ok)

However, here is the question. After I'm through, I need to stop the update
I really do not need finish the update, but I do need to return to the form
with the gridview no longer in the edit mode. (I need to cancel the update
using code).

After a few hours of searching, coding, and frustration --- I'm
stupid/stumped. This should be easy, so I'm missing something (GCE).

Thanks,

GridViewUpdateEventArgs)
'e.NewValues("Something") = "Something"
e.Cancel = False
End Sub

Thanks for the note Phillip, but I've tried that, the code you have shown
cancel's the update okay, but it returns the row still in the edit state.

I found an answer
I set the
grid.datasourece.editrowindex = -1

then called the

e.cancel
That worked.


Ugh!! now where could I find something that simple!
