How to catch errors when databinding

A

Axel Dahmen

Hi,

I'm new to binding a <asp:FormView> control to an <asp:ObjectDataSource> control.

Binding appears to work fine. But I can't find any information on how to deal with errors when they appear, e. g. when a user deletes a row being foreign key referenced by another row in another table, or if he/she inserts a new row creating duplicate keys...

In case of a database error I'd like to show a message like those coming from the <asp:ValidationSummary> control.

Any help is quite appreciated.

Best regards,
Axel Dahmen

Hi Axel,

As for ASP.NET ObjectDataSource control, the exception handling behavior
also rely on your code. First, in your data access class(used by
ObjectDataSource), you can manually catch and supress any exception occur
there. Or if you do not catch, it is catched by ObjectDataSource as
unhandled exception. Then, you can check the exception status in
ObjectDataSource's Updated event and choose to whether further throw it or
supress it. Here are two former newsgroup threads in which some community
members have posted some idea on this:

handling.html

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
