The CheckBoxList control creates a multiselection checkbox group that can be dynamically generated using databinding. To specify items that you want to appear in the CheckBoxList control, place a ListItem element for each entry between the opening and closing tags of the CheckBoxList control.
The CheckBoxList control also supports databinding. To bind the control to a datasource, first create a datasource, such as one of the DataSourceControl objects, that contains the items to display in the control. Next, use the DataBind method to bind the data source to the CheckBoxList control. Use the DataTextField and DataValueField properties to specify which field in the data source to bind to the Text and Value properties of each list item in the control, respectively. The CheckBoxList control will now display the information from the data source.
You can specify the way the list is displayed by using the RepeatLayout and RepeatDirection properties. If RepeatLayout is set to RepeatLayout.Table (the default setting), the list is rendered within a table. If it is set to RepeatLayout.Flow, the list is rendered without any table structure. By default, RepeatDirection is set to RepeatDirection.Vertical. Setting this property to RepeatDirection.Horizontal renders the list horizontally.
