check if the current row is marked for delete

Question

I have a button on my grid that sets the status of a field in the entity to "Active".

This works fine until I mark a record for delete with the standard delete control.

Problem is that if I then click the button again I get an error.  So I need to check if the record is flagged as deleted and if so not try to activate it.

Perhaps pop up a message instead.

I can check for changes across the grid or on selected item but I want to know if the record is flagged for delete.

How can I find this out?

Answer 1

You can use CanExecute method of button control:

result = Products.SelectedItem != null && Products.SelectedItem.Details.EntityState != EntityState.Deleted;
