syntax should be something like:

e.items.cells[index of cell you want].text

Subject: [aspx_professional] Obtaining a Column Value from a DataView Linked 
to a DataList
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 11:49:21 -0600

Hopefully I can describe what I am trying to do.  I have a DataView with 5 
columns that is DataBind-ed to a DataList.  Within the DataList, I have a 
LinkButton that calls the OnItemCommand associated function.  What I want to 
do is to obtain the value of the second column within the DataView for the 
SelectedIndexItem of the DataGrid.  I'm including some code, but I'm not 
sure if it will help.  It will definitely look ugly after it's been 
reformatted by the mailing list.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks..Chris

Selected code from Program.cs:

public void dlProgram_ItemCommand(Object objSender, DataListCommandEventArgs 
evtArgs)
	{
		string strCommand = ((LinkButton)evtArgs.CommandSource).CommandName;

		if (strCommand == "select")
			{
				dlProgram.SelectedIndex = evtArgs.Item.ItemIndex;
			}
		else if (strCommand == "jump")
			{
				strProgramID = ???????["record_id"];   <---------------------  This is 
where I want to capture the value for record_id from the DataView

				Response.Redirect("inspect.aspx?Facility_ID=" + strFacilityID + 
";Program_ID=" + strProgramID);
			}

		        BindData();
	}
