Question

I have to maintain an ASP.net application in VB.Net.
There is a page with a FormView bound to a ObjectDataSource.

I have to add some business logic on the ItemUpdating event of this FormView.

Unfortunately, some the data that I need to add this business logic is not exposed on the FormView user-interface itself, so I can not use FindControl to get the values (I could add the controls, bind them to the fields I need and set their visible property to true, but that’s ugly).

So, what I would need to do is to get access to the Data Row corresponding to the currently selected item in the FormView from the code behind as it has the data I need to add my business logic code.

Unfortunately, I don’t manage to get access to the row.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks, I managed to sort it using the Select method of the ObjectDataSource object.
This returned me a DataView containing the row that was currently being edited.
