What class is the Container object?

Vote:

I am wondering what class the Container object is in the following example:

">... The reason for this question is that I want to write a general method in the code behind file for getting properties, like this <%#property(container, directoremail>.

The container in all page based templates is the PageTemplateContainer class.

I was looking at doing the same thing here and I managed it... Its too bad there was no code to share with the forum so here's mine: Works well with a repeater control etc... suggestions on a better way welcome :) aspx:


<%#GetProperty(Container.DataItem,"WriterName")%>

code behind:


protected string GetProperty(Object page, string prop)
		{
			PageData oPage = page as PageData;

			if (oPage == null)
				return string.Empty;

			return oPage.Property[prop].ToString(); 
		}
