Chapter 6. Using ASP.NET List Controls

As you've discovered in previous chapters, one of the greatest advantages of ASP.NET is the separation of your business logic from presentation markup. Perhaps no other set of controls illustrates this better than the ASP.NET list controls: DropDownList, ListBox, CheckBoxList, and RadioButtonList. The purpose of this chapter is to give you an overview of these four controls and get you started using them in your ASP.NET applications.

In this chapter you will learn:

  • What the properties, methods, and events of ASP.NET list controls are

  • How to databind both the items collection and the selection property of each control

  • How to change the layout and display of these controlss
