ListView ItemDatabound data

[David C]

I have a ListView that I want to get the value of a unbound data column
instead of using FindControl. I have a VendorID and Vendor in the
DataSource. I use the following to get the value of a TextBox control

Dim tb As TextBox =
CType(e.Item.FindControl("txtExpenseID"), TextBox)
ddl.SelectedValue = tb.Text

How would I get the value in a Data field named "Vendor" that was not bound
to any control?
p.s. This is all in the ListView_ItemDataBound event.

Thanks.

David, try this

ListViewDataItem dataItem = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;
DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)dataItem.DataItem;
companyName.Text = drv["Vendor"].ToString();
