[Anjali]

Hi All,

  I have a listbox with two columns of checkboxes in it. I am binding the list to the database and the data is being dispalyed, but none of the checkboxes is cheked. how can I retreive the checkboxes data for the listbox. Below is my code for binding the listbox

public void populate_selectedAssistAgency(String casRepId)
{
    Model.rep.repHeader RepHeader = new Model.rep.repHeader();
    AssistAgencyAdapter adp = new AssistAgencyAdapter();
    List<Assist> assist = new List<Assist>();
    RepHeader.repId = RepId;
    RepHeader = adp.getSelectedAssistAgency(RepHeader);
    assist = RepHeader.RepAssistAgency;
    RadListBox RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency = (RadListBox)RadPanelBar1.FindItemByText("RepIssues").Items[0].FindControl("RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency");
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataSource = assist;
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataTextField = "Assist_location_name";
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataValueField = "Assist_location_id";
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataBind();
}

 and my aspx code loks like this

<td style="width:"2%">t<br />
           <telerik:RadListBox runat="server" ID="RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency" AllowDelete="false" AllowReorder="false"
               AutoPostBack="false" SelectionMode="Multiple" Width="120px" Height="200px"   >
               <ItemTemplate>

                  <asp:CheckBox ID="chkAssistDistance" runat="server" />
                   <asp:CheckBox ID="chkAssistOnSite" runat="server" />
                   <asp:Label ID="lblAssistAgencySelected" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"Text") %>'></asp:Label>
               </ItemTemplate>

           </telerik:RadListBox>

Hello Nitu,

One suggestion is to attach ItemDataBound event and set the state of the checkBox from there.
Here is a sample code:
C#:

protected void RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency_ItemDataBound(object sender, RadListBoxItemEventArgs e)
  {
      DataRowView dataSourceRow = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
      if ((dataSourceRow["bool"].ToString().ToLower()).Trim().Equals("true"))//bool is the database field name
      {
          CheckBox checkbox = (CheckBox)e.Item.FindControl("chkAssistOnSite");//accessing the checkbox and setting the state.
          checkbox.Checked = true;
      }
  }

Thanks,
Princy.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    AssistAgencyAdapter adp = new AssistAgencyAdapter();
    List<Assist> assist = new List<Assist>();
    RepHeader.repId = RepId;
    RepHeader = adp.getSelectedAssistAgency(RepHeader);
    assist = RepHeader.RepAssistAgency;
    RadListBox RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency = (RadListBox)RadPanelBar1.FindItemByText("RepIssues").Items[0].FindControl("RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency");
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataSource = assist;
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataTextField = "Assist_location_name";
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataValueField = "Assist_location_id";
    RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.DataBind();
}
