<tr>
<td width=60%><asp:CheckBox ID="chk0" runat="server" /> ...</td>
<td width=40%><asp:CheckBox ID="chk1" runat="server" /> ...</td>
</tr>

I have values coming in like this:

var lst = "18,6,0,7,0,4,0,1,5,0,2"

If 18 is there then chk18 is checked and ect… 0 just means no getting checked. Is there an ideal way to code this? whileloop be ideal?

The values are coming from a database table all the data is in that format.

Answer 1

Note, this will not work for your control ‘chk0’ and will blow up if you don’t have a correlating checkbox (ex = 18 is in your data, but you have no control chk18).

    Dim strData As String = "18,6,0,7,0,4,0,1,5,0,2"

    Dim lstIDs As List(Of String) = strData.Split(",").ToList()

    For Each strID As Integer In lstIDs

        If CInt(strID) > 0 Then

            CType(Page.FindControl("chk" & strID), CheckBox).Checked = True

        End If

    Next
