Binding data to radiobutton in a FormView

[sck10]

Hello,

I am trying to use a radiobutton inside of a FormView for editing data. My
question is how do you bind the radio buttons to the data field? Thanks,
sck10

<td style="width:30%; text-align:center;">
<asp:RadioButton id="rbn01Approved" runat="server"
Text="Approved"
TextAlign="left"
GroupName="rbn02"
Checked="False"/></td>

<td style="width:50%; text-align:left;">
<asp:RadioButton id="rbn01Denied" runat="server"
Text="Denied"
TextAlign="Right"
GroupName="rbn02"
Checked="False"/></td>

you'll have to fill the radiobuttonlist with data, either enter
manually, or from another data source

to hook it up with the data in for your formview:

you can set

SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Some Field In Your Formview Datasource") %>'

or

SelectedIndex='<%# Eval("Some Field In Your Formview Datasource") %>'

cheers

Hi,

Thank you for your post.

You can use RadioButtonList and its DataBinding event to do this. Using
SqlServer database Northwind's Products for example:

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rlist1"
OnDataBinding="RadioButtonList1_DataBinding" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Text="Discontinued"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="In Stock"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>

protected void RadioButtonList1_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadioButtonList rlist = (RadioButtonList) sender;
bool discontinued = (bool) DataBinder.Eval(rlist.BindingContainer,
"DataItem.Discontinued");
string text = "In Stock";
if (discontinued)
{
text = "Discontinued";
}
foreach(ListItem li in rlist.Items)
{
if (li.Text == text)
{
li.Selected = true;
break;
}
}
}

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.
