Question

I am adding some basic functionality to my companies website. When a potential employee clicks on a link to apply for a job, there will be a list of questions with yes/no radio buttons to prequalify applicants. I have looked through several tutorials on setting up a quiz engine since that is basically what I am doing but my company execs want the questions listed on one page and not one quesiton per page.

I am having trouble with two parts of this (heck, can’t sort out how to do it at all really). First issue is on how to display the questions, I was thinking that I should use a repeater.

Second issue is passing the answers back to the database, I would assume I should use a for-each loop. As a noob webdev on a one person team, I am having a hard time doing this as well.

I don’t want someone to do this for me as I want/need to learn the right way but if anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Yep!

Second issue is passing the answers back to the database, I would assume I should use a for-each loop.

This will work : Here’s how:

From: ASP .NET – How to Iterate through a repeater?

foreach(RepeaterItem item in myRepeater.Items){   
 if(item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem){
    // do something with the item
    RadioButtonList radioChoices = (RadioButtonList) item.FindControl("myControl") ;
 }
}
