Question

I have a block of code where i am checking checkboxes, comparing the contents of the datatable in the given code:

 foreach (DataRow dr in dtResult.Rows)
 {
    for (var i = 0; i < chkboxListWorkTypes.Items.Count; i++)
    {
      if (chkboxListWorkTypes.Items[i].Value.Equals(dr["WorkTypeID"].ToString()))
      {
         chkboxListWorkTypes.Items[i].Selected = true;
      }
    }
 }

Any labmda or linq expression would be great.

Answer 1

This is what I do

 foreach (DataRow dr in dtResult.Rows)
 {
    string cWorkTypeID = dr["WorkTypeID"].ToString();
    for (var i = 0; i < chkboxListWorkTypes.Items.Count; i++)
    {
         if(chkboxListWorkTypes.Items[i].Value.Equals(cWorkTypeID))
           chkboxListWorkTypes.Items[i].Selected =true;
    }
 }

if the ID on the checkboxes is diferent (that probably is),

 foreach (DataRow dr in dtResult.Rows)
 {
    string cWorkTypeID = dr["WorkTypeID"].ToString();
    for (var i = 0; i < chkboxListWorkTypes.Items.Count; i++)
    {
         if(chkboxListWorkTypes.Items[i].Value.Equals(cWorkTypeID))
         {
            chkboxListWorkTypes.Items[i].Selected = true;
            break;
         }
    }
 }
