Remarks

Use the NewValues property to access the new field values for the updated record. For example, you can use these values to keep a log of updated records.

The NewValues property returns an object that implements the IOrderedDictionary interface. The object contains DictionaryEntry objects that represent the fields of the updated record.

Note

As a shortcut, you can also use the indexer of the IOrderedDictionary object to access the field values directly.
