HOW: Finding checkbox control with a datalist control

[JP]

I have images within a datalist control. Below is a checkbox control that
contains the SQL ID of the image blob.

When the page is post back I want to iterate though checkbox collection to
get the IDs

Normally you can say Request["myCheckbox "] and get all the values for those
items that were checked. I want to access the "chkDelete" collection so I can
enumerate though the the collection. How do I access the check boxes within
the datalist??????? ?????

I tried (just to see if I get values) but Checkbox1 is always null:

System.Web.UI.H tmlControls.Htm lInputCheckBox Checkbox1 =
dataListControl .FindControl("c hkDelete") as HtmlInputCheckB ox;

Response.Write( Checkbox1.Value );

Hello JP,

Use HttpRequest.For m (see msdn for samples) collection with the name of you
control.
