嚴格的說，DataBinding,DataBound並不是GridView特有的事件，其他的控制元件諸如ListBox等也有DataBinding,DataBound事件。

DataBinding事件
MSDN解釋：Occurs when the server control binds to a data source.
This event notifies the server control to perform any data-binding logic that has been written for it.
譯為：該事件當伺服器控制元件繫結資料時發生。

DataBound事件
MSDN解釋：Occurs after the server control binds to a data source.
This event notifies the server control that any data binding logic written for it has completed.
譯為：該事件當伺服器控制元件完成資料繫結後發生。

RowCreated事件
MSDN解釋：Occurs when a row is created in a GridView control.
譯為：當GridView的行被建立時發生。

RowDataBound事件
MSDN解釋：Occurs when a data row is bound to data in a GridView control.
譯為：當GridView的行被繫結資料時發生。

四個事件的執行順序：
假定GridView有3行資料

aspx程式碼

<asp:GridView ID="GridViewMain" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnDataBinding="GridViewMain_DataBinding" OnDataBound="GridViewMain_DataBound" OnRowCreated="GridViewMain_RowCreated" OnRowDataBound="GridViewMain_RowDataBound" >

cs程式碼（只含事件頭）

protected void GridViewMain_DataBinding(object sender,EventArgs e) { } protected void GridViewMain_DataBound (object sender,EventArgs e) { } protected void GridViewMain_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { } protected void GridViewMain_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { }

發生次序是：
1. DataBinding
2. RowCreated
3. RowDataBound
4. RowCreated
5. RowDataBound
6. RowCreated
7. RowDataBound
8. DataBound

GridView取得資料有3條，因此Row的相關事件執行3次。

另外，從字面本身也可知事件之間的區別

比如，DataBound,DataBinding兩個事件，單詞Bound是Bind的過去式，即DataBound是繫結事件完成後發生的。

還有諸如RowDeleted,RowDeleting,都可以從詞義本身的差別加以區分。
