Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to use List controls to display simple option lists. You saw the DropDownList
, RadioButtonList
, ListBox
, CheckBoxList
, and BulletedList
controls.
You also saw the common features of the List controls. You learned how to append data items to a List control and automatically post a form containing a List control back to the server.
Finally, you worked through the creation of a custom List control, which involved deriving a new control from the base ListControl
class. The custom List control takes advantage of client-side JavaScript to enable users to select multiple list items without requiring a page to post back to the server when each item is selected.
