How to dynamically assign ID to a checkbox in a for-each cycle-CodePudding

I have the following code in a ascx : i run a SQL query and I put it in a Datatable. Then I show the values in the page like this

<% For each row As DataRow In myDataTable.Rows %>

    <%=row("something") %>
    <%=row("somethingelse") %>
    <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />

<% next %>

Now... how can I set the ID of the checkbox dymanically? something like

<asp:CheckBox ID="<%=row("MyId")%>" runat="server" />

that obviously do not work.

I need to set the id as the value I get from the DB so if it is checked I can pass the checked id to another page.

CodePudding user response：

The problem is that row("MyId") returns type of object so you need to convert it to string to be able to bind it to Checkbox

<asp:CheckBox ID="<%=row('MyId').ToString()%>" runat="server" />

See:

So, it is a lot less work to do the above.

Even if you don't have a bound check box, you can even feed the grid the data, and display a un-bound check box for selecting rows if that what you need/want.
