onclick events in asp.net with vb.net for a web form

[Shift838]

I have various checkboxes that I want to disable or enabled based on a different checkbox being checked or unchecked. Say checkbox1 if chekced will disable checkbox2.

so :

if checkbox1.checked = true then
checkbox2.enabled = false
end if

I would think this would work, but it does not. I have tried to put in a onclick event in vb.net for the web form but it does not work. how can I get this to work?

Make sure you have AutoPostback="True" on your checkboxes

May need to do this kind of client side but you can still add the code server side:

CheckBox1.Attributes.Add("onclick","document.getElementBy('" & CheckBox2.ClientID & "').disabled=(!this.checked);"
or
CheckBox1.Attributes.Add("onclick","document.getElementBy('" & CheckBox2.ClientID & "').disabled=(this.checked);"
