problems with CheckBoxList

[Philip Townsend]

I am having some difficulty getting a checkboxlist control to determine
which checkboxes are checked. Here is a code sample from the event that
should read it:

private void btnFilter_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ArrayList arr=new ArrayList();
for(int i=0;i<ckFilter.Items.Count;i++)
{
if(ckFilter.Items[i].Selected)
{
arr.Add(ckFilter.Items[i].Text);
}
}
IEnumerator en=arr.GetEnumerator();
while(en.MoveNext())
{
Response.Write(en.Current+"<br>");
}
}
The only problem is that ckFilter.Items[i].Selected always returns false
regardless of whether the box is checked. I am sure this is a simple
problemAny ideas?

The code looks fine to me, how are you binding data to this checkboxlist?
Are you making sure not to rebind this data on postbacks?

You're right. It was the postback issue. Thx for the speedy reply!
