ItemDataBound 'e.item.dataitem("key")' with ListView Control [duplicate]

Question

I have a ListView control and I have added a DataBound event (don't know if this is the correct one) to the control.

I'm wanting to access the data being bound to that particular ItemTemplate from this event, is that possible?

Answer 1

C# Solution

protected void listView_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{        
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
    {
        ListViewDataItem dataItem = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;
        // you would use your actual data item type here, not "object"
        object o = (object)dataItem.DataItem; 
    }
}

Why they made this so different for ListView still sort of puzzles me. There must be a reason though.
