Lukas: Thanks for that, not sure how I missed that property

Ryan: Just use e.Item.FindControl(“cblRoles”) as Lukas suggested and you won’t get the issue with the DataPager

Cheers

I tried it and it worked great, however when I added a DataPager to the ListView, upon clicking an item on page 2 it threw an error. Any suggestions?

You could also use e.Item.FindControl(“cblRoles”).

This will find the control in the item that caused the ItemCommand event.
