CheckBoxList::RepeatDirection Property

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the control displays vertically or horizontally.

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

public:
virtual property RepeatDirection RepeatDirection {
	RepeatDirection get ();
	void set (RepeatDirection value);
}
<asp:CheckBoxList RepeatDirection="RepeatDirection" />

Property Value

Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls::RepeatDirection
One of the RepeatDirection values. The default is Vertical.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The specified display direction of the list is not one of the RepeatDirection values.

Use this property to specify the display direction of the CheckBoxList control.

NoteNote

The number of columns that are displayed is always determined by the RepeatColumns property.

If this property is set to RepeatDirection.Vertical and if the RepeatLayout property is set to Table, the first column is filled from top to bottom, then the next column, and so on until all items are rendered. For example, if the RepeatColumns property is set to 3, the items in the CheckBoxList control are displayed in three columns, as in the following table.

If this property is set to RepeatDirection.Horizontal and if the RepeatLayout property is set to Table, the first column is filled from top to bottom, then the next column, and so on until all items are rendered. For example, if the RepeatColumns property is set to 3, the items of the CheckBoxList control are displayed in rows of three items each, as in the following table.
