CheckBoxList Class
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
public ref class CheckBoxList : public ListControl, IRepeatInfoUser, INamingContainer, IPostBackDataHandler
public class CheckBoxList extends ListControl implements IRepeatInfoUser, INamingContainer, IPostBackDataHandler
public class CheckBoxList extends ListControl implements IRepeatInfoUser, INamingContainer, IPostBackDataHandler
Not applicable.
The CheckBoxList control provides a multi selection check box group that can be dynamically generated with data binding. It contains an Items collection with members corresponding to individual items in the list. To determine which items are checked, iterate through the collection and test the Selected property of each item in the list.
You can specify the way the list is displayed by using the RepeatLayout and RepeatDirection properties. If RepeatLayout is set to RepeatLayout.Table (the default setting), the list is rendered within a table. If it is set to RepeatLayout.Flow, the list is rendered without any table structure. By default, RepeatDirection is set to RepeatDirection.Vertical. Setting this property to RepeatDirection.Horizontal renders the list horizontally.
The CheckBoxList control provides convenient data binding capabilities. However, individual CheckBox controls provide greater control over layout.

| This control can be used to display user input, which might include malicious client script. Check any information that is sent from a client for executable script, SQL statements, or other code before displaying it in your application. You can use validation controls to verify user input before displaying the input text in a control. ASP.NET provides an input request validation feature to block script and HTML in user input.
