Access the Fields of ObjectDataSource in either OnItemDataBound or OnItemDataBinding

[Michael Kniskern]

I want to programmatically access the fields collection in the ObjectDataSource object in either the OnItemDataBound or OnItemDataBinding event of the Telerik report to hide report elements if they do not contain values.

How would I accomplish this in the code file of the Telerik report?

Hello Michael,

You cannot manually read the data from the ObjectDataSource itself but you can access the data objects of the processing items. For example you are listening for a Report_ItemDataBinding event:

private void Report8_ItemDataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var procRep = sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Report;
    var data = procRep.DataObject;
}

data will be the data which is bound to the report (which is your actual data-source).
If you listen to DetailSection_ItemDataBinding, then the DataObject will  be just one row from the data-source. 

It is not always needed to use event to hide items conditionally. If you explain in further detail what exactly is your scenario, we might give you an easier solution.
