DataGridItem.DataItem Property
System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace DataGridItem Class
Sets or retrieves the data item associated with the DataGridItem.
Syntax
| Script | DataGridItem.DataItem [ = var ] |
|---|
Property Value
| var | Object representing a data item in a DataGrid control. |
The property is read/write with no default value.
Remarks
Use the DataItem property to specify or determine the properties of a data item associated with the DataGridItem object in the DataGrid control.
DataItem is mainly used to bind a field from the data source to a control on the DataGridItem.
For any of the templated list controls, such as DataList, DataGrid, or Repeater, this property provides the object reference against which a databinding expression is evaluated, and should always be set to Container.DataItem. DataItem provides the navigation path from the container to the property value to be placed in the bound control.
NOTE: This property only applies to data items in the DataGrid control. The ItemType property must be set to ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem, ListItemType.SelectedItem, or ListItemType.EditItem.
