Server side

protected void ContactsListView_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
      {
        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
        {
          // Display the e-mail address in italics.
          Label EmailAddressLabel = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("EmailAddressLabel");
          // EmailAddressLabel.Font.Italic = true;
          string valueoftheControl = EmailAddressLabel.Text;  
          /* you have to get the value like this. 
             If its a dropdown or any other use their 
             corresponding property to get the value.*/
        }
      }

Answer 2

I think what you're after is the ListViewDataItem.DataItem

Answer 3

protected void Score_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is RadListViewItem)
    {
        RadListViewDataItem item = e.Item as RadListViewDataItem;
        object dataItem = ((System.Data.DataRowView)(((RadListViewDataItem)e.Item).DataItem)).Row.ItemArray[2].ToString();
        string raetest = Convert.ToString(dataItem);
    }
}

Answer 4

Use the ListViewDataItem in the ItemDataBound event:

protected void yourListView_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    ListViewDataItem dataItem = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;

    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
    {
        YourDataSource yourDataSource= (YourDataSource )dataItem.DataItem;            

    }

}
