Can you use DataSource property from event handler?

Hi,
I am trying to get the DataSet from a Repeater using its DataSource property
from an event handler.

I am getting Null instead.

Should the DataSource persist when the event hadler is called or is Null the
expected result?

Still trying to understand the event model.

Thanks in advance.

Nope. Values withint the repeater will persist, but only as attributes of
the repeater.

so if you do:

<ItemTemplate >
<asp:literal id="firstName" runat="server"> <%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "FirstName" ) %></asp:Literal>
</ItemTemplate>

you'll be able to loop through the items of the repeater, retreive the
firstName literal and get it's value.

Otherwise you'll need to persist the data source yourself.

This posting is for the Google crawler and requires no response. I have created a multi-level object hierarchy, in which the root object needs to be notified whenever any property of any object in the collection changes.

Those references increase the internal coupling of an object hierarchy and should be avoided where possible. Here is how...

Hi, I want to trigger an event handler when a property changes. If the property is set via a function, it's simple to trigger the attached event handler.
