Loop through Check boxes and perform action

Hi:

I have created a registration page in which I use a repeater to populate a list of check boxes showing the available controls. The code looks like this:

<asp:Repeater ID="UsersRoleList" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="RoleCheckBox" AutoPostBack="false" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "RoleName") %>'
/>
<br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

DataTable roles = Check30.h30DataAccess.Roles_Get();
UsersRoleList.DataSource = roles;
UsersRoleList.DataBind();

On pressing the submit button, I would like to iterate through the RoleCheckBox and if checked, add the user to the role - i.e. Roles.AddUserToRole(profile.UserName, RoleCheckBox.Text) or something like that. Any help in doing this greatly appreciated.

you can manipulate the rest of the code

protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
  CheckBox c = e.Row.Cells[4].FindControl("YourCheckboxId");
  if(c != null && e.Row.DataItem["sFixed_f"] == true)
  {
    c.Checked = true;
  }
}

Open in new window

foreach(RepeaterItem rptItem in ptProducts.Items)
{
CheckBox chk = (CheckBox) rptItem.FindControl("chk_Select");
if(chk.Checked)
// do stuff here;
}

This does not seem to work. The name of my check box is RoleCheckBox - but name of the control on the client side would seem to be related to the value RoleName in the repeater. I have no idea where "chk_Select" comes from.

Can you show how you think this would work - using the names of controls I have used.

Thanks,
