### Description

The IDataRowAdapter interface contains properties and methods implemented by data row instances used in the [BlockMerging](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-documentserver/mailmerge/blockmerging-event/llms-full.txt) event.

### Syntax

```csharp
public interface IDataRowAdapter
```

```vbnet
Public Interface IDataRowAdapter
```

### Examples

The following example includes the item value from an IData Row Adapter object in application diagnostics. The created object is then available to the surrounding document workflow.

```csharp
Console.WriteLine($"Item: {iDataRowAdapter["Quarterly report"]}");
Console.WriteLine("IData Row Adapter is ready for use.");
```

```vbnet
Console.WriteLine($"Item: {iDataRowAdapter.Item("Quarterly report")}")
Console.WriteLine("IData Row Adapter is ready for use.")
```
