Public ReadOnly Property Control As Control

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Forms.Control

The control that is raising the event.

Remarks

In virtual mode, use the ItemValueNeeded event to populate the child controls with values from your data store when a DataRepeaterItem is displayed or when a new item is added.

Use the ItemValuePushed event to save changes to the child control values to your data store.

When the VirtualMode property is set to False, these events are not raised.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to handle the ItemValueNeeded event. It assumes that you have a DataRepeater control named DataRepeater1 that has its VirtualMode property set to True. The code will resemble the following example, which is for a data source named Employees.

private void dataRepeater1_ItemValueNeeded(object sender, Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItemValueEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ItemIndex < Employees.Count)
    {
        switch (e.Control.Name)
        {
            case "txtFirstName":
                e.Value = Employees[e.ItemIndex + 1].firstName;
                break;
            case "txtLastName":
                e.Value = Employees[e.ItemIndex + 1].lastName;
                break;
        }
    }
}

Private Sub DataRepeater1_ItemValueNeeded(
    ByVal sender As Object, 
    ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItemValueEventArgs
  ) Handles DataRepeater1.ItemValueNeeded
    If e.ItemIndex < Employees.Count Then
        Select Case e.Control.Name
            Case "txtFirstName"
                e.Value = Employees.Item(e.ItemIndex + 1).firstName
            Case "txtLastName"
                e.Value = Employees.Item(e.ItemIndex + 1).lastName
        End Select
    End If
End Sub
