NavigationItem.CustomItemInstance Property

Gets the embedded custom item instance associated with this navigation item.

[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly Property CustomItemInstance As CustomItem

[C#]
public CustomItem CustomItemInstance {get;}

The embedded CustomItem associated with this item, or null (Nothing for Visual Basic) if there isn't one.

Embedded custom item is initialized during data binding. So this property always returns null before DataBind method is called.

Typically you will use this property in CustomItemCreated or ItemDataBound event handler to modify the custom item before it is rendered.
