Accessing data associated with executing the RepeaterItem on Command

I want to access the data associated with the RepeaterItem in which the ItemCommand fires. The scenario is that I have several RepeaterItems that control a Button in which the command is set declaratively like this:

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater3" runat="server" DataSource='<%# ClientManager.GetClientEmployees(Eval("ClientID")) %>' OnItemCommand="RemoveEmployeeFromClient">
                                                                <ItemTemplate>
                                                                    <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text="(x)" CommandName="RemoveEmployeeFromClient"></asp:LinkButton>
                                                                </ItemTemplate>
                                                                <SeparatorTemplate>,<br /></SeparatorTemplate>
                                                            </asp:Repeater>

Code behind:

Protected Sub RemoveEmployeeFromClient(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As RepeaterCommandEventArgs)
        ' I want to access the data associated with the RepeaterItem which the Button was clicked.
    End Sub

You can use e.Item.DataItem to navigate to data for an object or store it in a hidden field.

Based on what Mitchell said, make sure you check that the RowType of the DataRow . You don't want to do shit when you can't. Casting from e.Item.DataItem to your type will result in an error in the header or footer bar.
