How to get the current data items in codebehind.

[Paul]

Hi

I have an internal news rotator with data coming from Linq to SQL.  The news heading, news bite and the news key are initally queried for the rotator.

I would like to be able to click on an item and have the onitemclick event to fire and in the code behind determine the news item that was clicked on and requery the database with the news key to get and display the whole news story elsewhere on the page.

I have everything working except how to determine the news key/data of the item clicked on in the codebehind.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,

I implemented such functionality in a simple demo project and attached it to this thread. In the project I use a XML datasource, but the approach is the same as when you use a SQL datasource.

I hope this helps.
