[RESOLVED] DataRowView Accessing Data

[Nate1]

I can't get the data out of this data table, when I do response.write its all there but I can't access the rows from the repeater, never had this problem before

Get the data on parent repeater databound
Dim rpt As Repeater = e.Item.FindControl("rptDates")
If Not rpt Is Nothing Then
'rpt.DataSource = GetDates()
Dim dt As New DataTable
dt.Columns.Add("Period")
dt.Columns.Add("DateStart")
dt.Columns.Add("DateEnd")
dt.Columns.Add("Available")
Dim Datestart As New DateTime
Dim DateEnd As New DateTime

For I As Integer = 1 To 6
GetWikiADPeriodDates(I, Datestart, DateEnd)




Dim dr = dt.NewRow
dr.Item("Period") = I

'Response.Write(Datestart & DateEnd & " " & I.ToString & " <br />")
'need to get the start and end periods
dr.Item("DateStart") = Datestart
dr.Item("DateEnd") = DateEnd
dr.Item("Available") = True

dt.Rows.Add(dr)


Next
rpt.DataSource = dt
rpt.DataBind()
End If


then try and Display it
<asp:Repeater ID="rptDates" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr <%#alternatingrowstyle() %>><td colspan="6">
<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "Period")%>
<%#GetWikiInformation(DirectCast(DataBinder.GetDataItem(Container), Data.DataRowView))%>
</td></tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>


It prints an Error with this code, but the best Ive had other than that is a printout of the data type ie system.data.datarowview,

how do I access this data

[Nate1]

I think this is how its done

<%#GetwikiData(Container.Dataitem)%>

protected function getwikidata(byval d as object) as string

dim dt as datatable = directcast(d,datatable)

'then access the current row of the datatable
'off the top of my head
return dt.Rows(0).Item("data").ToString()
end function
