Can't access Subitems in ListView while looping - asp.net

Question

I am trying to loop over a ListView with a foreach statement, but I can't seem to get the Subitems of item. No success with a For statement either.
IntelliSense doesn't propose it on both ways.
Code Behind:
protected void btnNext_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (ListViewItem item in ListView1.Items)
{
item. *(here a should get the Subitems)*
}
}
ASPX
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Customer</th>
<th>Item No</th>
</tr>
<asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="itemPlaceholder"></asp:PlaceHolder>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<%# Eval("CustomerName") %>
</td>
<td>
<%# Eval("Item") %>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

Answer 1

you have to change your aspx page as below
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Customer</th>
<th>Item No</th>
</tr>
<asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="itemPlaceholder"></asp:PlaceHolder>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lblCustomerName" Text='<%# Eval("CustomerName") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lblItem" Text='<%# Eval("Item") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
Now you have to use for each loop as below in code behind file
string strProductNames = string.Empty;
foreach (ListViewItem item in ListView1.Items)
{
Label lblCustomerName= (Label)item.FindControl("lblCustomerName");
// strProductNames = strProductNames + lblCustomerName.Text + "<br/>";
// you can get values in lblCustomerName.Text. use this value as per your requirement
}
Hope this will helps you..happy coding

Answer 2

you should use loop throug listview.items
for (int j = 0; j < this.listView1.Items.Count; j++)
{
ListViewItem item =
(ListViewItem)this.listView1.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(j);
}

Answer 3

Get data being bound to ListView on DataBound event
you would treat the code inside of your loop the same way that it would be handled inside of the listView1_ItemDataBound event.
