'الاستخدام
Dim instance As DataRepeaterItemEventArgs
Dim value As DataRepeaterItem

value = instance.DataRepeaterItem

public DataRepeaterItem DataRepeaterItem { get; }

    DataRepeaterItem^ get ();

function get DataRepeaterItem () : DataRepeaterItem

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItem
An item that contains the data, which is based on the ItemTemplate property of the DataRepeater control.

Remarks

Use the DrawItem event to change the appearance of DataRepeaterItem objects as they are scrolled into view.

At run time, appearance-related properties can be set based on conditions. For example, in a scheduling application, you might change the background color of an item to warn users when an item is past due. If you set a property in a conditional statement such as If…Then, you must also use an Else clause to specify the appearance when the condition is not met.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DrawItem event handler to make changes when an item is scrolled into view. This example assumes that you have a DataRepeater control that is bound to the Products table in the Northwind database.

Private Sub DataRepeater1_DrawItem(
    ByVal sender As Object, 
    ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItemEventArgs
  ) Handles DataRepeater1.DrawItem

    ' Alternate the back color.
    If (e.DataRepeaterItem.ItemIndex Mod 2) <> 0 Then
        ' Apply the secondary back color.
        e.DataRepeaterItem.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue
    Else
        ' Apply the default back color.
        e.DataRepeaterItem.BackColor = Color.White
    End If
    ' Change the color of out-of-stock items to red.
    If e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls(
          UnitsInStockTextBox.Name).Text < 1 Then

        e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls(UnitsInStockTextBox.Name). 
         BackColor = Color.Red
    Else
        e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls(UnitsInStockTextBox.Name). 
         BackColor = Color.White
    End If
End Sub

private void dataRepeater1_DrawItem(object sender, 
    Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    // Alternate the back color.
    if ((e.DataRepeaterItem.ItemIndex % 2) != 0)
    // Apply the secondary back color.
    {
        e.DataRepeaterItem.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
    }
    else
    {
        // Apply the default back color.
        e.dataRepeaterItem.BackColor = Color.White;
    }
    // Change the color of out-of-stock items to red.
    if (e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls["unitsInStockTextBox"].Text == "0")
    {
        e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls["unitsInStockTextBox"].BackColor = Color.Red;
    }
    else
    {
        e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls["unitsInStockTextBox"].BackColor = Color.White;
    }
}
