Example

CheckBoxList
Declare one CheckBoxList control in an .aspx file. Then we create an event handler for the SelectedIndexChanged event. The selectable list contains six check boxes. When a user checks one of the boxes, the page is immediately posted back to the server, and the Check subroutine is executed. The subroutine loops through the control's Items collection and tests each item's Selected property. The selected items are then displayed in the Label control.
