In the following code, strUsername is always returning as an empty string "" (and so are other columns).
However if I use ItemArray and access it by passing the column index, it works fine. How to access by column name instead of index?
protected void dlst_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
if (e.Item.DataItem != null)
{
string strUsername = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "Username").ToString(); -----> this returns as an empty string
}
}
Answer is here: ItemDataBound 'e.item.dataitem("key")' with ListView Control
Also, DataBinder.Eval is not usable in ItemDataBound.
