c# - Windows 8.1 Handle potentially different data types -

i have gridview can fire holding event on item. items consist of stackpanel, textblock , image handling below code

private async void gvjobs_holding(object sender, windows.ui.xaml.input.holdingroutedeventargs e) {              joblocal job = null;             if(e.originalsource textblock)             {                 job = (joblocal)((textblock)e.originalsource).datacontext;             }             else if (e.originalsource image)             {                 job = (joblocal)((image)e.originalsource).datacontext;             }             else if (e.originalsource stackpanel)             {                 job = (joblocal)((stackpanel)e.originalsource).datacontext;             }             ....code based on above result } 

but feel there better way using multiple if statements. tried using var cannot access datacontext please advise on better way achieve objective

your ui elements derived frameworkelement can cast this.

if (e.originalsource frameworkelement) {     job = (joblocal)((frameworkelement) e.originalsource).datacontext; }
