Show Selected Data of Checkboxlist Inside Textbox in ASP.Net

We took one bound checkboxlist and a TextBox. When the user checked a checkbox and clicks the button for it, the selected data will be entered into the TextBox.

Initial Chamber

Step 1

Open your Visual Studio 2010 and create an Empty Website, provide a suitable name (CheckBoxList_demo).

Step 2

In Solution Explorer you get your empty website, then add two web forms and a SQL Server Database as in the following.

For Web Form:

CheckBoxList_demo (your empty website) then right-click then select Add New Item -> Web Form. Name it Autocomplete_demo.aspx.

For SQL Server Database

CheckBoxList_demo (your empty website) then right-click then select Add New Item -> SQL Server Database. (Add a database inside the App_Data_folder).

DATABASE CHAMBER

Step 3

In Server Explorer, click on your database (Database.mdf) then select Tables -> Add New Table. Make the table like this.

Table tbl_data (Don't forget to make ID as IS Identity -- True).

Finally open your CheckBoxList_demo.aspx.cs file to write the code, so that the application works.

Here is the code:
  1. using System;  
  2. usingSystem.Collections.Generic;  
  3. usingSystem.Linq;  
  4. usingSystem.Web;  
  5. usingSystem.Web.UI;  
  6. usingSystem.Web.UI.WebControls;  
  7. usingSystem.Data;  
  8. usingSystem.Data.SqlClient;  
  9.   
  10.   
  11. publicpartialclass_Default : System.Web.UI.Page  
  12. {  
  13. protectedvoidPage_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  14.     {  
  15. if (!Page.IsPostBack)  
  16.         {  
  17. SqlConnection con = newSqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");  
  18. SqlCommandcmd = newSqlCommand("select * from tbl_seo", con);  
  19. SqlDataAdaptersda = newSqlDataAdapter(cmd);  
  20. DataTabledt = newDataTable();  
  21. sda.Fill(dt);  
  22.   
  23.             CheckBoxList1.DataSource = dt;  
  24. CheckBoxList1.DataBind();  
  25.         }  
  26.   
  27.     }  
  28. protectedvoid Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  29.     {  
  30.   
  31. for (inti = 0; i< CheckBoxList1.Items.Count; i++)  
  32.         {  
  33.   
  34. if (CheckBoxList1.Items[i].Selected)  
  35.             {  
  36. txtmsg.Text += CheckBoxList1.Items[i].Text + ",";  
  37.             }  
  38.         }  
  39.
