Question

I have a DataList, and each data list has a label and button, I want to get the text of the label when the button is clicked for each data list row ?
I am using vb.net.

I assume that you’re handling the DataList‘s ItemCommand event by setting the Button’s CommandName property.

 Sub Item_Command(sender As Object, e As DataListCommandEventArgs)Handles DataList1.ItemCommand

    ' What command was triggered?
    If e.CommandName = "YourCommandName" Then

        ' Get the Label in the DataListItem of the clicked button
        Dim lbl = DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("Label1"), Label)
        Dim labelText = lbl.Text
    End If

 End Sub
