How to set RadioButtonList value via table

Hi, I have a radio button with the following code

<legend>Garage:</legend>
<asp:RadioButtonList runat="server" ID="radioGarage">
<asp:ListItem Value="1" >Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2" Selected="True">No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>

I don't know how to change the selected value based upon a database request.

It's part of a formview, which is:
<asp:FormView ID="AdFormView" runat="server" DataSourceID="AdDataSource" DefaultMode="Edit"
DataKeyNames="Id" OnItemUpdating="AdFormView_ItemUpdating">

I'm not even sure what I should be saving to the database, other texts and labels are using Bind, i.e..

'<%# Bind("Garage") %>'

Sammy

use the SelectedValue property to bind the list to datafield

<legend>Garage:</legend>
<asp:RadioButtonList runat="server" ID="radioGarage" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("YOUR_DATA_FIELD_NAME") %>'>
<asp:ListItem Value="1" >Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2" Selected="True">No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>

Use Databound property of this control and also then set the selected value at code behind

I gave up on trying and just used checkboxes instead.
