Radiobutton always has Checked = true, even when not selected

[Alan Silver]

Hello,

I have a pair of radiobuttons on a form, used to select the type of
search someone is to do...

<asp:RadioButton ID="rdbLastNDays" Text="Show tips for the last"
GroupName="rbgSearch" runat="server" />

and

<asp:RadioButton ID="rdbContainingWords" Text="Show tips containing the
word(s)" GroupName="rbgSearch" runat="server" />

Then in my code, I check like this...

if (rdbLastNDays.Checked) {
// do stuff based on the first radiobutton
} else {
// do stuff based on the second
}

The problem is that the condition in the if statement is *always* true.
In other words, rdbLastNDays is always showing as checked, even when it
isn't. The "else" part never, ever gets executed.

Anyone any idea why this is happening? TIA

works fine for me on asp.net 2.0

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:RadioButton ID="one" GroupName="group" runat="server"
Text="one" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="two" GroupName="group" runat="server"
Text="two" />

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click"
Text="Button" />
</form>

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write(one.Checked); Response.Write(two.Checked);
}

output is FalseFalse

Yup, normally does for me too, but in this instance, it fails!!

I have discovered that it's only one of the two radiobuttons that does
this, the other works as expected. This gives me a workaround, but I'm
puzzled why one should always have the Checked property true, even when
it's not selected.

Thanks anyway. Ta ra

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:RadioButton ID="one" GroupName="group" runat="server"
Text="one" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="two" GroupName="group" runat="server"
Text="two" />

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click"
Text="Button" />
</form>

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write(one.Checked); Response.Write(two.Checked);
}

output is FalseFalse
