I think you'll have to try to reword the question to get any replies. I'm having a hard time following exactly what you mean. Some sample code would help. - Jon Skeet

protected void MyListView_DataBind(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e){
  if(e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem){
    MyObject p = (MyObject)((ListViewDataItem)e.Item).DataItem;
  }
}

You'll want to do the type check so that you don't try and do a cast when you're working on say, the header item.

this one may help :

void listview1_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    ListViewItem listItem = (ListViewItem)e.Item;
    //or 
    ListViewDataItem listDataItem = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;

    Label mylabelinItem = listItem.FindControl("labelId") as Label;
}
