My code below returns the .text property of the chkEqmtRental check box but
not it's checked state. I'm creating the control in a placeholder and need
to access the check box in the codebehind. Also, is it possible to access
events for that control and if so, how?
chkEqmtRental = plh.FindControl("chkEqmtRental")

You code below assigns the checkbox (assuming it is found) to a variable. As
Checked is a property of the checkbox, you should have no trouble accessing
it. So, you might want to explain what you're trying to say.

hi tma,
I think that the problem is there because you don't cast the finded control
to a checkbox
so the code should be:
Dim chkEqmtRental as CheckBox = CType(plh.FindControl("chkEqmtRental"),
CheckBox)
chkEqmtRental.Text 'for text property
chkEqmtRental.Checked 'for checked state
what do you mean by acces the event ?

Martin

With regard to events, I'm asking if it's possible to gain access to events
in the codebehind for controls added via placeholder.

First, I would advise you to turn Option Strict ON. It will prevent data
type errors like this. Every Checkbox has the same properties. However, the
FindControl() method returns a type of System.Web.UI.Control, not
System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox. You have to cast it as a CheckBox in
order to access the CheckBox properties.

Hi tma:
Since you mentioned using a PlaceHolder control earlier I'm thinking
you might be running into problems creating controls dynamically and
adding them to the page.
The following KB article shows how to dynamically add a control and
add an event handler: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;317515
Notice it also adds the control during Page_Init, which is before
Page_Load, as this can impact how the control behaves and remembers
it's state.
HTH,

With Option Strict On and the following lines, I still get no value for
..checked. I can define the chkEqmtRental as webcontrols.checkbox or just
checkbox and same result. I'm at a loss. Is anyone able to make this work?
Could you post a code sample?
table = new htmltable
cell = new htmltablecell
row = new htmltablerow
chk = New WebControls.CheckBox
chk.AutoPostBack = True
chk.Attributes.Add("runat", "server")
chk.Text = "Equipment rental"
chk.ToolTip = "Player requested rental equipment."
chk.ID = "chkEqmtRental"
cell.Controls.Add(chk)
row.Controls.Add(cell)
table.Controls.Add(row)
plh.controls.add(table)
chkEqmtRental = CType(plh.FindControl("chkEqmtRental"), CheckBox)
Cast does not return a true for .checked when box is checked.
