CheckboxList inside a usercontrol inside of a datalist.

I'm almost certain this is a bug, or atleast "undesirabl e behavior".

I felt the checkbox list control had shortcomings so I ventured on creating
my own checkbox list user control. To put it shortly, the usercontrol had a
checkbox list inside of it, that would be bound by a datasource that was to
be specified as a property of the control. It also had an all checkbox at the
top that would select all of the checkboxes in the list...
The problem came with the property I added to the control SelectedItems.
This property was to be set after the Items property was set and the checkbox
list was databound to it. Then the selectedItem property was set and the
selected items would be checked. <--- That is where the buggy behavior came
in.

From my tests, it appears that if you use databinding on a checkbox list or
datalist with checkboxes as items, inside of a usercontrol and put that
usercontrol inside of a datagrid as an item, and try to check those
checkboxes in code - IT WILL NOT WORK.

I know it sounds crazy but I learned the hard way. I will post code soon to
show you. For now, just let me know if it rings a bell.

I created a user control that, had a datalist with checkboxes inside of the item template. These checkboxes would not retain state. For instance, if I set them to checked inside of the load event of the UserControl, they would appear false(the default value) when inside the top level datagrid. Here's the walkthrough (tried to make it as quick as possible): Start a new ASP.NET Web Application project. 1. Create a usercontrol....

I have a Datalist control on my page that I have binded to a table of available categories. In the Item Template I have a CheckboxList control bound to the products available in each Category. I need to pull out of the page which products the user has selected. I have bound the products to the CheckboxList control in the ItemDataBound event for the Datalist. How can I extract what checkboxes have been selected inside the Datalist?

The situation: I have a CheckBoxList cblTest, the items are disabled in cblTest_DataBound in a foreach (ListItem oItem in cblTest.Items) loop. I provide a link that calls a client-side JavaScript that enables the items -- this works perfectly. However, when I then click a LinkButton that does a postback and I loop through the items on serverside to pick up the selected ones, it doesn't pick them up. IMHO it seems to loop though the items...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
