title: Is it possible to retrieve property names from a databound item?
body: <p>I have this code-behind that checks each item in a repeater when it is databound to see if the author/date are empty (either no author/date, or the system is set to not display them) so that way I can clear out their respective labels. This is so I dont get something like "Posted By on" when there is not author and/or date specified.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      repeater.ItemDataBound += new RepeaterItemEventHandler(repeater_ItemDataBound);    
  }
  
  void repeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
  {
      if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
      {
          Literal PostedBy = (Literal)e.Item.FindControl("litPostedBy");
          Literal PostedOn = (Literal)e.Item.FindControl("litPostedOn");
          string Author = (string)DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "Author");
          string Date = (string)DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "PubDate");
  
          if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Author))
          {
              if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Date))
              {
                  PostedBy.Text = "";
                  PostedOn.Text = "";
              }
              else
              {
                  PostedBy.Text = "Posted ";
              }
  
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using a CMS, and I am unsure of what all the properties are in the <code>e.Item.DataItem</code>. Is there some way I can loop through the DataItem and print out the property names/values?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
