I would like to be able loop through all the html checkboxes in my form and if it is checked do something else do something else. I also would like to do this in the code behind not using any Javascript\jquery.
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<div>
<table width="850" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10" class="Copy" >
<tr>
<td valign="top"><table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" bgcolor="#f0f4f8">
<tr>
<td width="21"> </td>
<td width="179"><strong>CheckBoxes</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input runat="server" type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" id="checkbox1" /></td>
<td>checkbox1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input runat="server" type="checkbox" name="checkbox2" id="checkbox2" /></td>
<td>checkbox2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input runat="server" type="checkbox" name="checkbox3" id="checkbox3" /></td>
<td>checkbox3</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />
</form>
In the codebehind I have tried a couple of different ways but i am guessing since it is an HTML Input control of type Checkbox it is not working
foreach (CheckBox chk in Page.Form.Controls.OfType<CheckBox>())
{
if (chk.Checked == true)
{
Label1.Text = "we have checkboxes";
}
else
{
Label1.Text = "Still no checkboxes";
}
}
A couple of ways:
foreach (Control item in this.form1.Controls)
{
//We just need HtmlInputCheckBox
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputCheckBox _cbx = item as System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputCheckBox;
if (_cbx != null)
{
if (_cbx.Checked)
{
//Do something:
Response.Write(_cbx.Name + " was checked.<br />");
}
}
}
or
//We just need HtmlInputCheckBox
IEnumerable<Control> _ctrls = from Control n in this.form1.Controls where n as System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputCheckBox != null select n;
if (_ctrls.Count() > 0)
{
foreach (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputCheckBox item in _ctrls)
{
if (item.Checked)
{
//Do something:
Response.Write(item.Name + " was checked.<br/><br />");
}
}
}
Hope this helps....
