DataRepeaterItemValueEventArgs.Control Property

Gets the child control of a DataRepeaterItem that is raising the ItemValueNeeded or ItemValuePushed event.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Control As Control
'Usage
Dim instance As DataRepeaterItemValueEventArgs 
Dim value As Control 

value = instance.Control
public Control Control { get; }
public:
property Control^ Control {
    Control^ get ();
}
public function get Control () : Control

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Forms.Control
The control that is raising the event.

Remarks

In virtual mode, use the ItemValueNeeded event to populate the child controls with values from your data store when a DataRepeaterItem is displayed or when a new item is added.

Use the ItemValuePushed event to save changes to the child control values to your data store.

When the VirtualMode property is set to False, these events are not raised.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to handle the ItemValueNeeded event. It assumes that you have a DataRepeater control named DataRepeater1 that has its VirtualMode property set to True. The code will resemble the following example, which is for a data source named Employees.

Private Sub DataRepeater1_ItemValueNeeded(ByVal sender As Object, _
 ByVal e As  _
 Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItemValueEventArgs) _
 Handles DataRepeater1.ItemValueNeeded
    If e.ItemIndex < Employees.Count Then 
        Select Case e.Control.Name
            Case "txtFirstName"
                e.Value = Employees.Item(e.ItemIndex + 1).firstName
            Case "txtLastName"
                e.Value = Employees.Item(e.ItemIndex + 1).lastName
        End Select 
    End If 
End Sub
private void dataRepeater1_ItemValueNeeded(object sender, Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItemValueEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ItemIndex < Employees.Count)
    {
        switch (e.Control.Name)
        {
            case "txtFirstName":
                e.Value = Employees[e.ItemIndex + 1].firstName;
                break;
            case "txtLastName":
                e.Value = Employees[e.ItemIndex + 1].lastName;
                break;
        }
    }
}
