datarow item in repeater doesn't exist

I'm going through a repeater databound sub.

The data in the repeater can depend on what is selected in a dropdown, but some of my sql that is being used to display the data doesn't have a column price - how can I say e.g. "if exists "price" e.g.

I was trying:

If Not CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView) Is DBNull.Value Then
    'Do this
end if

Any ideas?

DataItem is always nothing/null on postbacks, it's only set after databinding. Values are maintained in ViewState(by default) across postbacks, so there's no need to maintain the datasource.

So you should use e.Item.FindControls(controlID) instead.
