List view and SelectedItemTemplate problem "Help"

[orsini]

Hi, I am new to .net and i have this maybe silly question. i have this test list view and i want to take a item field and poste it in a label when selected. here is the code. Protected Sub DepartmentsListView_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) MessageLabel.Text = "The key value is " & _ DepartmentsListView.SelectedValue.ToString() & "." Label1.Text = DepartmentsListView.SelectedItemTemplate.InstantiateIn(what else come here?) End Sub I was looking for info on that, but not luck. thanks for you attention

Hello! The selectedItemTemplate is only a template of how the item should be displayed. You should write something like this instead: You have to excuse my lack of VB knowledge

Protected Sub DepartmentsListView_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

MessageLabel.Text = "The key value is " & _
DepartmentsListView.SelectedValue.ToString() & "."

Here comes my non VB skills in hand :)

ListViewDataItem dataItem = DepartmentsListView.Items[DepartmentsListView.SelectedIndex]

Label1.Text = dataItem.FindControl("TheItemField").Text

End Sub

And as i said, i have never written VB so the syntax may be totaly wrong, but hopefuly if will guide you some. and also, i have not tested the code.

thank so much for you help. it is very close to that, do you know how is it in C# then, i can convert it. I try it the way you did, and still something missing there.
