The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Trying to prepopulate checkbox list control

Asked by jazzcatone in C# Builder, C# Programming Language, WebApplications

I have the following checkboxlist control:
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="chbxlstType" CssClass="lbltextblcksmbld" RepeatDirection="horizontal" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Text="AE" Value="0"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="C" Value="0"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="NPQ" Value="0"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:CheckBoxList>
The user will go in and check various check boxes and submit their selections to the databases. In the insert to the db we are building a string of values and inserting them into 1 varchar field. Like so:
foreach (ListItem liType in chbxlstType.Items)
{
if (liType.Selected)
{
strTypelist += liType.Value + ",";
}
}
So for example, if all 3 listitems were checked and then submitted the value in the db ends up being (0,0,0). Or if for example only the first and third listitems were selected the value in the db would be (0,,0).
So now when the user comes back to the form and i need the listitems to be prepopulated with the selections the user made previously. So i need to do sometype of a comparison against the db value and check the appropriate boxes accordingly. Any suggestions as to the best way to do it in C#?
