This class represents an individual item in the DataList control. You can access it through the DataList.Items collection or from a DataList event.

DataListItem inherits most of its properties from System.Web.UI.Control. In addition, it provides an ItemIndex that gives its index in the DataList.Items collection, an ItemType prop900erty that identifies what type of item this is (a header, footer, alternating row, etc.), and a DataItem property that returns the corresponding data item (such as a System.Data.DataRowView instance).

public class DataListItem : WebControl, System.Web.UI.INamingContainer {
