Working with List Controls

List controls display simple option lists. The ASP.NET 4 Framework includes the following five list controls:

• CheckBoxList— Displays a list of check boxes. Multiple check boxes in the list can be selected.

• DropDownList— Displays a drop-down list. Only one item in the drop-down list can be selected.
