Question

I can get the the first row in a ListView item in .NET 3.5 by:

ListViewDataItem theFirstItem = ListView1.Items[0];

But then how do I get the get the value of the item’s CommandArgument ( an int)
< %# Eval("PKey") %> in the aspx.

Or get the contents of

<asp:Label ID="lblStatus" runat="server" Text= '<%# Eval("Status") % /> 

Answer 1

Does FindControl work for ListView items?

ListViewDataItem theFirstItem = ListView1.Items[0];
Label lblStatus = (Label)theFirstItem.FindControl("lblStatus")
Response.Write(lblStatus.Text);      // outputs the text of that label
