I’ve come across this problem a few times, and have usually just worked my way around it.

The problem is when you want to create a list of Radio Buttons to display on a page, and you need to show these with other data, using an ASP.NET repeater (or DataList, or DataGrid).

Here’s what your code might look like:





















If you run a DataBind to show values for this repeater, the Html will end up something like this:

    One     name="rptValues$ctl01$options" />     name="rptValues$ctl01$txtValue" />

    Two     name="rptValues$ctl02$options" />     name="rptValues$ctl02$txtValue" />

(Note I haven’t shown the ‘code behind’ here, just take it that I have bound to a string list which consists of ‘one’ and ‘two’)

Because the two ‘radio’ inputs have a different ‘name’ attribute, then they will act independently of each other, and you’ll be...
