VB.NET Selecting Items In CheckBoxList

[billybob206]

Hello:

I have a form that is used to update user's profile. The user can have multiple roles that I'm trying to display using a CheckBoxList.

When initially selecting a user the code below works. If I select another user, the checkboxes in my form are not filled out (all are unselected). Additionally, if I update a user and then select another user, the checkboxes are filled correctly.

Below is the code I am using. Thanks in advance for your help. (GV= Gridview FV = Formview)

Dim UNameStr As New Label
 
        'Get username
        UNameStr.Text = gvUser.SelectedRow.Cells(3).Text
 
        'Get User's Roles
        Dim userroles() As String = Roles.GetRolesForUser(UNameStr.Text)
        Dim NewRoles As CheckBoxList
 
        'Find CheckBoxList
        NewRoles = DirectCast(fvUserEdit.FindControl("cbRoles"), CheckBoxList)
 
        'Uncheck everything in the CheckBoxList
        NewRoles.ClearSelection()
 
        'Select Roles User Is In
        For Each li As ListItem In NewRoles.Items
            For indexA As Integer = 0 To userroles.Length - 1
                If li.Value.ToString = userroles(indexA).ToString Then
                    'If the values match, set the checkbox to true
                    li.Selected = True
                End If
            Next
        Next
