Question

I have three checkboxes in my form. The problem is that when I check all three, I only received one checkbox. how can I fix this?

my code:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ConfigOptions itemToSave = 0;

        if (autoCapsNames.Checked)
        {
            itemToSave |= ConfigOptions.AutoCapsStr;
        }

        if (autoSort.Checked)
        {
            itemToSave |= ConfigOptions.IntantOrganization;
        }

        if (showLinesNumbers.Checked)
        {
            itemToSave |= ConfigOptions.ShowLinesNumber;
        }


        SaveConfigs(itemToSave);


    }

Thanks

The previous answer should solve your issue, but it changes the way you handle the data.
If you want to use bitwise OR method (as you are doing now), make sure you have correctly defined ConfigOptions. Values assigned to ConfigOptions.AutoCapsStr, ConfigOptions.IntantOrganization and ConfigOptions.ShowLinesNumber should be chosen in such a way to define the values you set in a unique way.

If ConfigOptions is an enum, you can try to define it like this:

enum ConfigOptions
{
    AutoCapsStr = 1, 
    IntantOrganization = 2, 
    ShowLinesNumber = 4
}

Then, you can use it inside your SaveConfigs method (or in your loading method, if you just save the numeric value) to test values set like this:

if (itemToSave & ConfigOptions.AutoCapsStr != 0)
{
    //ConfigOptions.AutoCapsStr is set, so do appropriate things here
}
