Datalist help needed!

[VB Programmer]

I am making a data driven shopping cart.

I'm using a datalist for the list of products. The item template consists
of:
- Product Id
- Product Picture
- Product Description
- Price
- Qty
- Add to Cart image button

1. When I double click on the image button (Item Template view) it doesn't
auto create the code behind declaration. Am I not allowed to use a button
in a datalist item template?
2. How can I "reference" the "current" product from the button? Example:
They click on product 123 and I want to put the Product Id/Price into a
variable.

Thanks!

I have an example of a how to reference a checkbox which is added to a
datagrid when it autoposts back to a page. It's really the same thing you
are trying to do with your button click and the code you'll need will be
very similar. If you go to my site, www.aboutfortunate.com, and click on the
"Code Library" link at the top and then use the search box that will appear
to search for "Checkbox in Datagrid" or something similar you'll find the
code example that will help you.

wire up the DataList ItemCommand Event. This fires when any button is
clicked in the DataList.
