Gets or sets a value indicating whether the CheckBox state automatically posts back to the server when clicked.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

<ThemeableAttribute(False)>
Public Overridable Property AutoPostBack As Boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean

true to automatically post the state of the CheckBox control to the server when it is clicked; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Use this property to specify whether the state of the CheckBox control is posted back to the server when clicked.

System_CAPS_noteNote

Setting this property to true causes a round trip to the server every time the control is clicked.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.

The following example demonstrates how to use the AutoPostBack property to automatically post the state of the CheckBox control to the server when the control is clicked.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The following code sample uses the single-file code model and may not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. This code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Forms Page Code Model.
