CheckBoxList formatting

[Buddy Ackerman]

Is there any way to make the rows of a CheckboxList alternate the
background color like you can with a repeater?

Buddy, I don't think you can alternate the background color of the checkbox
itself. But you could certainly add div tags around each text item and
change the background color of that. Anything in the text area is rendered,
even html.

Hey man,

Looks like this post is from a couple of years ago, but what the hey...

If alternating your bg color for each check box is still a priority, you'll have to write your own custom control. Alternating properties by item, in the same way the repeater and datalist allow, is beyond the scope of the control.

I would suggest creating a user control that is repeater / datalist based which manages a strongly-typed collection. You can use the findcontrol method of the repeater item to locate the value for each iteration, and you've accomplished what you set out to do - add alternating style control and still maintain the base functionality.

I hope this helps (sorry i'm late on it..)
