Individual CheckBox Web Controls ..HELP

[Guest]

I'm using three checkbox web controls in C# .NET

and one button, and one labe

Is there a way to "group" these individual checkbox web controls

If so, do I use a for loop, hashtable, array, etc

What I'm looking for is how to determine what checkbox was selected from the three checkbox web controls and have the selected checkbox(es) display in a label

I don't want to use the following

if (CheckBox1.Checked == true

//do something

if (CheckBox2.Checked == true

//do somethin

and so fort

What if I had 50 Individual Checkbox web controls I don't want to have the above if statement 50 times in my code behind

I want to have something else-such as a loop that will iterate through the Individual Checkbox controls to check which is selected and print the selected out to the label

Can this be done without using CheckBoxList web control

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Is there a way to "group" these individual checkbox web controls?

How about storing them in an array?

You could also loop through and find the list of checkboxes, but if you have
others you would have to separate them out.

Create one common event handler for all 3 controls by adding the controls
and their event to the "handles" clause of the routine. Then use the
"sender" argument to determine which checkbox fired the event.

I don't have the C# code for you but here it is in VB.NET:

Public Sub SomeCheckBoxGotClicked(sender as object, e as eventArgs) _
Handles chkBox1.checkChanged, chkBox2.checkChanged, chkBox3.checkChanged

'Since you know that only a checkbox could have fired this event, it's
ok to cast sender as a checkbox
'and look at some property that uniquely identifies it, such as its ID
Select Case CType(sender, System.Web.UI.Checkbox).ID
Case "chkBox1"
do something
Case "chkBox2"
do something
Case "chkBox3"
do something
End Select
End Sub
