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!

CheckBoxList ListItem.Selected property always returning false on form submission.

Asked by aqua9880 in C# Programming Language, Programming for ASP.NET, .NET Framework 2.x

Tags: checkboxlist, listitem, false

C# coupled with ASP.NET 2.0
I'm using this on a form submission to figure out the Checked values of a DataBound asp:CheckBoxList item:

        for(int i = 0; i < this.cklstLanguages.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            if (this.cklstLanguages.Items[i].Selected)
            {
                WebCopyLang tWC = new WebCopyLang();
                tWC.ID = int.Parse(this.cklstLanguages.Items[i].Value);
                newUsr.ApprovedCultures.Add(tWC);
            }
        }

Problem is:
  The checkboxlist contains languages.  The Text value is set to a display of a language ie English, German.. etc.  And value is set to a unique DB Primary key for that language.  When the code iterates through the CheckBoxList the .Selected value of the ListItem is false even if the checkbox is checked.

ASP.NET Line:
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="cklstLanguages" runat="server" Enabled="true" RepeatColumns="2" RepeatDirection="Vertical" EnableViewState="true"></asp:CheckBoxList>

Binding Properties are as follows:
        ResxManager resxman = ResxManager.GetResxManager();
        WebCopyLangs wcl = resxman.LoadWebCopyLang();
        this.cklstLanguages.DataSource = wcl;
        this.cklstLanguages.DataTextField = "Name";
        this.cklstLanguages.DataValueField = "ID";
        this.cklstLanguages.DataBind();
        this.cklstLanguages.Enabled = true;

Which binds correctly... On form submission is the only problem.  I cannot get the Checked values of the checkbox list.  

Using a postback on each checkboxlist click is unacceptable.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
