Try replacing    <template name=3D"itemtemplate">
with <itemtemplate>



>>> dllist@c... 09/19/02 05:21PM >>>
I decided to convert from a datagrid to a datalist for other performance
reasons but I am still bugged that all the examples I find have the use
of Container.DataItem("Column_Name") why does it not work for me.

Here is a sample that I found:

<asp:DataList Runat=3D"server" id=3D"myDataGrid"
BorderColor=3D"black"
BorderWidth=3D"1"
GridLines=3D"Both"
CellPadding=3D"4"
CellSpacing=3D"0">
   <template name=3D"itemtemplate">
    <%# Container.DataItem("CompanyName") %>
    </td><td>
    <%# Container.DataItem("ContactName") %>
    </td><td>
    <%# Container.DataItem("ContactTitle") %>
    </td><td>
    <%# Container.DataItem("Phone") %>
    </td><td>
    <%# Container.DataItem("Fax") %>
   </template>
</asp:DataList>

I appreciate your help, but do you have any other suggestions for me.

Thanks,

This works:

DataRowView drv =3D (DataRowView) container.DataItem;

After that you can usr drv to access the databound items from the
DataSet:

drv["column_from_bound_table"];

This is, of course, assuming that the item is bound to a row. This type
of
code is typically found in a custom ItemTemplate class' DataBind()
method.

Subject:  [aspx_professional] Retrieving an item from dataset into
datagrid
      template


I am using :

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, Column_name_from_dataset")

to retrieve a value of a given column in a dataset(originally from Sql
Server stored procedure).

I am told that using DataBinder.Eval takes a performance hit, so I am
therefore trying to use

Container.DataItem("Column_name_from_dataset") or
Container.DataItem["Column_name_from_dataset"]

None of the above seem to work. I am wondering if there is a way to
retrieve this information from the dataset to my datagrid without taking
this hit.
