Retreiving data in datalist from Codebehind

[kaczmar2]

I have a page that uses a DataList control, and I need to get at the
data in the codebehind. I have done it in the HTML side of things with
the following command:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "BodyItemName")%>

But how would I access this in the, say, "ItemCommand" event?

Thanks,

Christian

You have index of "clicked" item in event arguments (second argument of
event handler) : e.Item.ItemIndex
Now when you know item number you can use it to find appropriate element of
data source which was used to populate datalist.
