Occurs on the server when an item in the DataList control is created.
(in System.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Event ItemCreated As DataListItemEventHandler
Dim instance As DataList
Dim handler As DataListItemEventHandler
AddHandler instance.ItemCreated, handler
public event DataListItemEventHandler ItemCreated
public:
event DataListItemEventHandler^ ItemCreated {
void add (DataListItemEventHandler^ value);
void remove (DataListItemEventHandler^ value);
}
JScript does not support events.
<asp:DataList OnItemCreated="DataListItemEventHandler" />
The ItemCreated event is raised when an item in the DataList control is created, both during round-trips and at the time data is bound to the control.
The ItemCreated event is commonly used to control the content and appearance of a row in the DataList control.
For more information about handling events, see How to: Consume Events in a Web Forms Application.
The following code example demonstrates how to specify and code a handler for the ItemCreated event to display the order in which items in the DataList control are created.
