HI Mike,

What is the type of the bounded collection?

Container.DataItem is an object for the instance being bounded, if it's a
datatable for example you could do like this
((DataRow)Container.DataItem)["ColumnName"]

or if it's a strong typed collection of some type you could do like this
((CollectionType)Container.DataItem).Property

hoe this help,
