DetailsView.DataItem Property

Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Gets the data item bound to the DetailsView control.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

public:
virtual property Object^ DataItem {
	Object^ get ();
}
/** @property */
public Object get_DataItem ()

public function get DataItem () : Object

Property Value

An Object that represents the data item bound to the DetailsView control.

Use the DataItem property to access the data item bound to the DetailsView control. The data item is often used to access the field values of the current record directly. The type of the Object returned by this property varies depending on the data source. For example, when a SqlDataSource control is bound to the DetailsView control, a DataRowView object is returned.

NoteNote

This property is available only after data binding has occurred. Before data binding occurs, this property returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). This property is also not applicable when the DetailsView control is in insert mode and returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The following code example demonstrates how to use the DataItem property to determine the value of a field in the data item.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
