Getting DataItems from Repeaters 1

[TeaAddictedGeek]

I'm trying to access a dataitem's value that is bound to a Repeater, but it seems that the only examples I've found that work for what I'm trying to do are in VB. For instance:

If e.Item.DataItem("amount") > 50 Then

I need to access the DataItem using similar syntax but can't seem to find the C# equivalent.

The data being used is a DataTable within a DataSet. Very basic, since I don't have it hooked up to a database yet. Just trying to get the initial logic working first. Here's part of it:

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
DataTable dt = ds.Tables.Add("Cities");
dt.Columns.Add("City", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dt.Columns.Add("Zone", Type.GetType("System.String"));

DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = "Boston";
dr[1] = "1A";
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
[...]
rtASAP.DataSource = ds;
rtASAP.DataMember = "Cities";
rtASAP.DataBind();

What I'm looking to do is access the Column City's value from the DataBind above within the ItemDataBound event.

Thanks in advance!

     dt.Rows.Add(object[] { "NY City", "2B" });

   if (e.Row.RowIndex > -1)
   {
      DataRowView data = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;
      string city = (string)data["City"];
   }
}
