Determine Which Checkboxes are Checked

[Wayne Wengert]

I have an aspx page which contains a datalist, which in turn, is populated
with checkboxes based on the contents of a SQL table (see code below). I
want a routine to go through all the checkboxes in this set and determine
which ones the user checked. I know I've seen some nice tight routines to do
this but I had no luck Googling for it.

================== Code ======================
<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataKeyField="Interest"
RepeatColumns="4" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"

CellSpacing="2" SelectedIndex="0" Font-Bold="False" Font-Italic="False"

Font-Overline="False" Font-Strikeout="False" Font-Underline="False"

HorizontalAlign="Left" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" ShowFooter="False"

ShowHeader="False" Height="248px" Width="448px">
<ItemTemplate>

<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Interest") %>'
/>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:DataList>

A quick way to establish which DataList items are selected is by iterating
the DataList's Items Collection:
foreach (DataListItem item in DataList1.Items)
{
if (((CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1")) != null &&
((CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1")).Checked)
{
//Do what you want with this row
}
}
Hope this helps...
