Im maintaining an app with a DataList, the first time Ive used this control.
A single row is retrieved from the database and formatted on the screen using
<%# Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "<name of
column>")) %>
statements in the .aspx (no controls such as button, etc)
My problem is that I dont know how to go back into the datalist and retrieve
one of the values in the codebehind.
Thanks.
 
This literal content will be represented by an instance of the
DataBoundLiteralControl class. Once you have a reference to the item, you
can read the text as

(item.Controls[0] as DataBoundLiteralControl).Text
