Multiple Radio Button List in Repeater Control

[CURTISLESPERANCE]

Hi, I am trying to figure out if this is possible. I need to display 4 radio buttons next to a question then 3 radio buttons after. The 2 different group radio buttons and questions are coming from a database.

I have the questions being displayed right now using a repeater control but I am having an issue making 4 and 3 radio buttins per question for multiple questions. However some questions have sub questions so the parent question doesn't have the radio buttons. Is this possible?

E.G.
- radio|radio|radio|radio|question|radio|radio|radio

- question

- radio|radio|radio|radio|Sub question|radio|radio|radio

This is possible. You need to figure out the logic to make this work. I believe whatever code you write will need to be in the repeaters ItemDataBound event. This way you can identify what to display (question or question - sub question).

Ya, that's the key, what is the logic to it, what do I need to use to make this happen?

You need to implement this logic when you are retrieving the questions from your database.

I'm not sure you guys understand, so here is my code. and I need to display radio buttons for all parent questions unless it has a child question
