Datalist conversion to ListView

Hi all,

Please can anyone help me with converting the itemdatabound and itemcommand events in a datalist to a listview? I cannot find out anywhere how to replace the e.item.dataitem code so it is compatible with the listview. Any help would be massively appreciated. The reason I want to do this is to add paging to a products table which has a linksbutton to add the item to a basket and the tutorials utlised a datalist.

Thanks.

Protected Sub ListView1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListViewItemEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDataBound
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item OrElse _
e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then

Dim rpt As Repeater = DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("Repeater1"), Repeater)

Dim ItemID As HiddenField = New HiddenField
Dim ItemName As HiddenField = New HiddenField

If e.Item.ItemType = ListViewItemType.DataItem Then
Dim ID As Label = _
CType(e.Item.FindControl("MenuItemID"), Label)
End If

ItemID.ID = "ItemID"
ItemName.ID = "ItemName"

ItemID.Value = e.Item.DataItem("MenuItemID")
ItemName.Value = e.Item.DataItem("ItemName")

rpt.Controls.Add(ItemID)
rpt.Controls.Add(ItemName)

End If
End Sub
Protected Sub Repeater1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventArgs)

Dim rpt As Repeater = DirectCast(source, Repeater)

Dim IDControl As HiddenField = DirectCast(rpt.FindControl("ItemID"), HiddenField)
Dim NameControl As HiddenField = DirectCast(rpt.FindControl("ItemName"), HiddenField)
Dim ItemID As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(IDControl.Value)
Dim ItemName As String = NameControl.Value

Dim ItemSize As String = e.CommandName.ToString()
Dim ItemPrice As Decimal = Convert.ToDecimal(e.CommandArgument)

StoredShoppingCart.InsertItem(ItemID, ItemName, ItemSize, 1, ItemPrice)

Label1.Text = String.Format("{0} added to the shopping cart", _
ItemName)

End Sub

 

Hi,
The ListView is flexible but wouldn't it be easier to create a dataset for it and this action?
Here's the steps at least one developer took to do this:
