"Current" object of an asp:FormView bound to an EntityDataSource
I have a FormView with paging enabled. The FormView is bound to an EntityDataSource ...
<asp:EntityDataSource ID="MyEntityDataSource" runat="server"
ConnectionString="name=MyEntitiesContext"
DefaultContainerName="MyEntitiesContext"
EntitySetName="Order"
// ... more stuff to define a q开发者_运维技巧uery
</asp:EntityDataSource>
... which returns a list (IEnumerable) of objects of type Order
from a database. Let's say, my pager is positioned on page 2, so the FormView displays the second object of the list.
The FormView seems to "know" the object it has to display since controls like
<asp:Label ID="MyLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("MyProperty")%>'/>
magically display the value of "MyProperty" of the correct object.
How can I access this object (the entity of type Order
as a whole, not single properties by using "Eval") in Code-behind?
in the DataBound event handler for your FormView you can do:
Advert ad = FormView1.DataItem.WrappedEntity<Advert>();
Where .WrappedEntity() is an extension method defined as:
/// <summary>
/// Gets the actual EF entity object that is being wrapped and databound.
/// </summary>
/// <example>
/// Advert ad = myFormView.DataItem.WrappedEntity<Advert>();
/// (where myFormView is databound to EntityDataSource returning Advert entity)
/// </example>
static class WrappedEFEntityExtensions
{
public static TEntity WrappedEntity<TEntity>(this object dataItem) where TEntity : class
{
var entity = dataItem as TEntity;
if (entity != null)
return entity;
var typeDescriptor = dataItem as ICustomTypeDescriptor;
if (typeDescriptor != null)
return (TEntity)typeDescriptor.GetPropertyOwner(null);
return null;
}
}
These examples use the EF entity Advert, but you would replace with Order for example.
