Public Property InitNewRow As ASPxDataInitNewRowEventHandler

Property Value

Type	Description
ASPxDataInitNewRowEventHandler

A delegate method that allows you to specify initial values.

Remarks

The initialization of a new row added to the GridView occurs when:

the client ASPxClientGridView.AddNewRow method is called;
an end-user clicks on the New command button.

Use the argument’s NewValues property to specify the values in the new row.

csharp

@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    settings.Name = "GridView";

    // ...
    settings.KeyFieldName = "CustomerID";
    settings.Columns.Add("CompanyName");
    settings.Columns.Add("ContactName");
    settings.Columns.Add("ContactTitle");
    settings.Columns.Add("Phone");
    // Process the initialization of new rows.
    settings.InitNewRow = (s, e) => {
        e.NewValues["Phone"] = "(5) 555-12-34";
        e.NewValues["ContactTitle"] = "Owner";
    };
}).Bind(Model).GetHtml()

The image below illustrates the edit form that appears after a user clicks the New button.

Note that you can initialize values only for those columns that are visible within the Edit Form or In-Line Edit Row. To specify values of hidden columns, modify the properties of a model object passed to an action method specified via the MVCxGridViewEditingSettings.AddNewRowRouteValues property.
