CommandName values, documented?

[Brian Simmons]

Hi All,

I've searched a bunch of different places and cannot seem to find a concrete
answer to this.

This past weekend I was watching some .NET training videos and noticed that
they were using CommandName property on a Button in a Multiview control (or
more specifically in Views of the Multiview control).

Just by setting the CommandName property on the Buttons to things like:
PrevView, NextView, SwitchViewByInd ex (& utilizing the CommandArgument
property), SwitchViewByID (& utilizing the CommandArgument property)

They were able to switch the views without any code. As I dug deeper, I
discovered that when using buttons in a GridView, I could do CommandNames
like Edit, Update, Insert, Delete, etc... and have the GridView
automatically switch templates.

My question: is there a comprehensive list of all the CommandNames for all
Controls (dependent on where they're used)?

Thanks,
Brian

Re: CommandName values, documented?

Check the doc for the XXCommand event in which the command name is used for
the particular control you are interested in... For example, for the
gridview, this is used in the RowCommand event that is :

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.rowcommand.aspx

where you'll find a table for available values...

Hi Brian,

To see each control's supported command names, you can check related
*Command events as Patrice suggested.

To understand how the CommandName works, you can refer to a technique
called "event bubbling" in ASP.NET:

Bubbling an Event

Hope this helps.
