Coding Platform: ASP.NET 4.0
I am binding a GridView with LinqDataSource with AutoDelete functionality enabled.
GridView is bound to the Products Table.
I have a Products Table and a Category Table with an association on CategoryID.
If I try to delete a Category that is referred in the Products Table I cannot do that.
Its is totally acceptable, but I want the end user to be notified with some error message.
Where to catch this error message?
Ended up using OnDeleting event of the LinqDataSource
protected void LinqDataSource1_Deleting(object sender, LinqDataSourceDeleteEventArgs e)
{
try
{
Categories category = (Categories)e.OriginalObject;
if (helper.IsCategoryPresentInProductsTable(category.CategoryID))
{
e.Cancel = true;
StatusLabel.Text = String.Format("{0} is referred in the products table. Delete aborted!",
category.CategoryName);
StatusLabel.Visible = true;
}
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(err);
}
}
