Question

Every time I click the Delete Button, the check marks double in quantity:

Public Class About
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\Images\")
    Dim imageArray As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
    Dim image As IO.FileInfo

    'clear imageArray


    'list the names of all images in the specified directory
    For Each image In imageArray
        CheckBoxList1.Items.Add(image.Name)
    Next

End Sub

Protected Sub btnDelete_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnDelete.Click

    For count As Integer = 0 To CheckBoxList1.Items.Count - 1
        If CheckBoxList1.Items(count).Selected Then
            File.Delete("C:\Images\" & CheckBoxList1.Items(count).ToString)
        End If
    Next

End Sub

End Class

The checkboxlist isn’t refreshed so that the checkbox that I deleted is removed from the checkboxlist. How do I accomplish that? Thanks!

Answer 1

On a button click, Page_Load is ran again, so the code that adds the checkboxes is ran a second time.

Add a check for Page.IsPostBack, and only add the checkboxes if it is not a postback.

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
    For Each image In imageArray
        CheckBoxList1.Items.Add(image.Name)
    Next
End If

(I hope syntax is right… Not used to VB)
