DataItem Property (ObjectListDataBindEventArgs)

Returns the specified data object of the list item that is being bound. This property is available only on a request where the list item is data bound; on subsequent postbacks, it is always null.

public Object DataItem {
   get
}

Example

The following example demonstrates how to access the members of an object bound to an object list item.

Public Sub confirmBound(ByVal sender As Object, 
                        ByVal e As ListDataBindEventArgs)
        Select Case CType(e.DataItem, Book).InStock
            Case "Yes"
                'Add code here for a book that is in stock.
            Case "No"
                'Add code here for a book that is not in stock.
        End Select
    End Sub


[C#]
void confirmBound(object sender, ObjectListDataBindEventArgs e)
{
   switch (((Book)(e.DataItem)).InStock)
   {
      case "Yes":
         //Add code here for a book that is in stock.
         break;
      case "No":
         // Add code here for a book that is not in stock.
         break;
   }
}
