Programmatically Check an Item in Checkboxlist where text is equal to what i want

Question

In C#, I am trying to Check an item in a CheckBoxList where the text equals what I require.

I would modify the code to check items that exist in the database.

<

Answer 1

I tried adding dynamically created ListItem and assigning the selected value.

foreach(var item in yourListFromDB)
{
 ListItem listItem = new ListItem();
 listItem.Text = item.name;
 listItem.Value = Convert.ToString(item.value);
 listItem.Selected=item.isSelected;                 
  checkedListBox1.Items.Add(listItem);
}
checkedListBox1.DataBind();

avoid using binding the DataSource as it will not bind the checked/unchecked from DB.
