HtmlInputRadioButton.Name Property

Gets or sets the name of the group that the instance of the HtmlInputRadioButton class is associated with.

[Visual Basic]
Overrides Public Property Name As String
[C#]
public override string Name {get; set;}
[C++]
public: __property String* get_Name();
public: __property void set_Name(String*);
[JScript]
public override function get Name() : String;
public override function set Name(String);

Property Value

The group of check box controls that the instance of the HtmlInputRadioButton class is a member of.

Remarks

Group multiple HtmlInputRadioButton controls by specifying a common value for the Name property of each radio button you want to include in the group. When you group HtmlInputRadioButton controls, only one radio button in the group can be selected at a time. The Checked property of the selected control is set to true, while the same property is set to false for all other radio buttons in the group.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, JScript] The following example demonstrates how to use the Name property to group multiple HtmlInputRadioButton controls.
