Public Event HtmlDataCellPrepared As ASPxGridViewTableDataCellEventHandler

Event Data

The HtmlDataCellPrepared event's data class is ASPxGridViewTableDataCellEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Cell	Gets the processed data cell.
CellValue	Gets the processed cell’s value.
DataColumn	Gets the data column that contains the processed cell.
KeyValue	Gets an object that uniquely identifies the data row. Inherited from ASPxGridViewItemEventArgs.
VisibleIndex	Gets the visible index of the data row. Inherited from ASPxGridViewItemEventArgs.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
GetValue(String)	Returns the value of the specified cell within the processed row.

Remarks

The grid raises the HtmlDataCellPrepared event for each visible data cell in the ASPxGridView when the corresponding table cell has been created. For example, the event is raised for rows displayed in a currently selected page when you page data. You can handle this event to change the style settings of individual cells.

Note

During export operations, the Grid View control ignores appearance settings specified in the HtmlDataCellPrepared event handler. Refer to the following topic for more information on how to customize exported elements in different export modes: Export Modes.

The processed cell is identified by the event parameter’s ASPxGridViewTableDataCellEventArgs.Cell property. Its value is returned by the ASPxGridViewTableDataCellEventArgs.CellValue property. The column and row where the processed cell resides can be obtained via the ASPxGridViewTableDataCellEventArgs.DataColumn and ASPxGridViewItemEventArgs.KeyValue properties.

To get values of other cells within the processed row, use the e.GetValue method.
