Get list of selected items inside a CheckBoxList in a FormTemplate

[Danielle Mascher]

Hi there

I'm struggling to find a way to get a list of all the selected items inside a CheckBoxList nested inside a grid's FormTemplate in the grid's Updatecommand.

I manage to get the values of all the other controls by using the following code:

String companyNameKey = Page.Request.Form.AllKeys.First(key => key.Contains("TextBoxCompanyName"));
String CompanyName = Page.Request.Form[companyNameKey];

But this does not seem possible for a CheckBoxList.

How should I do this?

Hello Danielle,

In order to get all selected items of CheckBoxList, access the CheckBoxList using FindControl() method and then iterate through each listitems collection. Here is a sample code.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

GridEditFormItem dataitem2 = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

CheckBoxList chklist = (CheckBoxList)dataitem2.FindControl("CheckBoxList1");

foreach(ListItem item in chklist.Items)

{

if (item.Selected)

{

Response.Write(item.Text);//your code

}

}

}
