R – Accessing the full DataRow from the DataSource in a ListView ItemDataBound event handler

asp.netdatasourcelistview

Is it at all possible within a ListView ItemDataBound event handler to gain access to the full DataRow for that event? I need to do a lot of processing for the entire row on binding, but using data item values in the datarow that I am not actually using in the display itself.

Try this

DataRowView dr = (DataRowView)DataBinder.GetDataItem(e.Item);

using dr.Item.ItemArray you can access the entire row.

Wpf – ListBox vs. ListView – how to choose for data binding

A ListView is a specialized ListBox (that is, it inherits from ListBox). It allows you to specify different views rather than a straight list. You can either roll your own view, or use GridView (think explorer-like "details view"). It's basically the multi-column listbox, the cousin of windows form's listview.

If you don't need the additional capabilities of ListView, you can certainly use ListBox if you're simply showing a list of items (Even if the template is complex).

C# – Dynamic event handler for the ListView

After breaking my head over the wall, I actually found a way. I will post it here, so maybe somebody with the similar problem will find solution for himself.

That is my button that located in the ListView

<asp:Button ID="orderbook" runat="server" CommandName="order" CommandArgument="ordernow" OnCommand="Order_Command" Text="order now" />

And in code behind i added

protected void Order_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "order")
        {
            testLabel.Text = e.CommandName.ToString();
        }
    }

And now when i click on the button, it catches the event.
