Hi, is it possible to fire the PerformWork for a datasouce programmatically? The reason i ask is i have a datasource on a FormView control, there are several buttons which are set to use the Update Command so they fire the PerformWork which is fine. I want to fire some code before the PerformWork sub runs depending on the button they click. Do the arguments passed to the PerformWork sub contain anything about the way it was fired - i.e. which button, etc?

Thanks.

I think you can try to call the FormView.UpdateItem() , InsertItem() & DeleteItem() From your custom buttons handlers.

The eventarg parameters contain the elements as known by the datasource control, so the collection, filter etc. not which button is clicked.

What I'd do is setting a var to an enum value when a given button is clicked and when PerformWork comes, INSIDE the perform work read the var and based on the value call your custom routine, and then proceed with the normal perform work code.

Thanks guys for the info, have got it working well now.

Cheers.
