DataSet.dataProvider 353
Description
Property (read-only); returns the current item in the DataSet collection, or null if the
collection is empty or if the current iterator’s view of the collection is empty.
This property provides direct access to the item in the collection. Changes made by directly
accessing this object are not tracked (in the
DataSet.deltaPacket property), nor are any of
the schema settings applied to any properties of this object.
Example
The following example displays the value of the name property defined in the current item in
the data set named
customers_ds.
customers_ds.addItem({name:"Milton", years:3});
customers_ds.addItem({name:"Mark", years:3});
customers_ds.addItem({name:"Sarah", years:1});
customers_ds.addItem({name:"Michael", years:2});
customers_ds.addItem({name:"Frank", years:2});
trace(customers_ds.currentItem.name); // Frank
