asp.netcheckboxdetailsview

Make checkbox of detailsview to be checked by default for insert new record?

I am using DetailsView which its DefaultMode: insert, and I want to make its checkbox to be checked by default also user can change it to unchecked, but to bind checkbox we should use

Checked='<%# Bind("Cit_Visible") %>'

and this lets the default status of checkbox to be unchecked, so how can I solve this?

Solution

  • You can assign value to text property of checkbox if you want your check box selected at the time of data binding.

    <asp:CheckBox ID="chl" runat="Server" Checked="true" Text="<%# Bind('Cit_Visible') %>" />

    on code behind you can access text value to save it to in DB

        CheckBox MyCheckbox = new CheckBox();
    MyCheckbox = (CheckBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("chl");
    Response.Write(MyCheckbox.Checked);
