Help w/Repeater control & radio buttons

[meckeard]

Hi,

I am using the repeater control to list all the addresses of a customer. I need a radio button to the left of each so the customer can select which one they want to use.

I wanted to use the asp:RadioButton, but I can't assign a value to it. If I try, it won't display on the page. I can't seem to get a regular HTML radio button to work if I try to write code to check to see if atleast one is selected.

Any suggestions? I am open to chaning my code as long as it works.

Thanks,
Mark

You could, instead, manipulate a DataGrid or Table dynamically. In the appropriate event, you could incorporate logic to add a new radio buttons to each row using the Controls collection property of cells or something. You can also look into column templates.

Good luck!

use radiobuttonlist instead and set RepeatDirection to Horizontal;
<asp:radiobuttonlist id=&quot;SomeRadio&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; RepeatDirection=&quot;Horizontal&quot;>
<asp:ListItem Value=&quot;1&quot;>Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value=&quot;0&quot;>No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:radiobuttonlist>

IN the code, you will treat this somewhat like a selectbox

jgillin,

But I don't know what values will populate the radiobuttonlist.

The page in question will read addresses from a database for a customer. Each address will have a radio button to the left. One radio button needs to be selected in order to continue.

With that said, I would need a datagrid, repeater, etc in order to list the addresses from a datareader. Or loop thru the datareader and response.write the addresses. In either case, I need the radio button to signify the selected address.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

Actually, jgillian is right. I forgot about the RadioButtonList. You can just bind the list to the DataReader as you would a different control.

meck --

Why don't you just display the addresses in a listbox, and set the selection on single and go from there?

BoulderBum,

I will look into the RadioButtonList. My 2 books don't go in to much detail, so I didn't think that was possible.

Isadore -- I thought about that, but didn't like it from a visual stand point.

Thanks,
Mark
