Container.datai tem ?

I was wondering if someone could give me some info on what this element
acutally is... I've used it tons when definining a templated column in a
datagrid within <%# %>, but don't really know where it lives, etc. From my
reading, it seems that "container" might have something to do with a
"NamingContaine r", is this correct? Is this namingcontainer a way to grab a
handle to an object when there's no alternative available? And beyond that,
is "dataitem" a collection member of the mysterious Container object? Perhaps
someone could point me to a link with additional info? Thanks for any
assistance.

Take a look at, it should explain what DataItem is.

Container is an instance of RepeaterItemEve ntArgs, DataListItemEve ntArgs or
DataGridItemEve ntArgs I believe...

Hi! How do I check if "date" exists before using that code? I've built a RSSreader and sometimes there's a date in it and sometimes not.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
