Binding an arraylist to a datalist

[npverni]

I have datalist binding to an arraylist of custom objects (defined in a
class "PageItem"). What I am trying to do is access the source
PageItem object in an ItemCommand event handler of the DataList.


For example, I would like to do something like the following:


protected void dlPages_ItemCommand(object source,
DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
(PageItem) thisPage = (PageItem)[...?? reference to the object
that this item is bound to...]
}



Thanks,

Nathan

PageItem pageItem = (PageItem)e.Item.DataItem;

you'll want to make sure e.Item.ItemType is an Item or an AlternatingItem
