Step 5-Disallow Editing for Discontinued Products When “Show/Edit ALL Supplier's is Not Selected
This step of the VIDEO TUTORIAL will focus on how to implement the business rule that was created earlier. The business rule dictates that if a particular product is discontinued by a supplier, its product information MUST not be editable in the GridView control. In order to accomplish this implementation of the business rule, a custom logic is written in the GridView controls ProductsBySupplier_RowDataBound event handler. Basically, every DataRow is evaluated to see whether the ‘Discontinued’ field is set to true, if the ‘Discontinued’ field is true, the Edit link of the GridView control for that particular row display is hidden.
