Remarks

The ItemCreated event is raised when an item in the DataGrid control is created, both during round-trips and at the time data is bound to the control.

The ItemCreated event is commonly used to control the content and appearance of a row in the DataGrid control.

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.
