CheckBoxList -- Iterating Through Items

[Ron]

Can someone tell me how I can iterate through all of the Checkboxes included
within a checkbox list?


The code I currently have is as follows (it doesnt work for some reason, it
returns that no items are selected):

foreach(ListItem objItem in chkCategory.Items)
{
if(objItem.Selected == true)
{
category += objItem.Text;
}
}


Thanks,

Ron

There's nothing obvious that you have done wrong, it could be that you are setting the checkbox items to unchecked in the page load, but not wrapping them in a if (!IsPostBack) { } conditional, so the checkboxes are regenerated each time you load the page. Another possiblity is that if you are using databinding then the code above is firing before the databinding, in which can you would need to put this code in a ondatabound() method.

without the full source code it is impossible to tell what is the cause.
