[thelist] [ASP.NET] Repeater Controls and Radio Buttons

[Norman Beresford]

Hi Joshua

It's a wee bit annoying that one, you think oh I'll assign each radio
button the same group name and then the page renders them all with a
unique group name.  What you need to do is download a new control, which
supports universal radio button groups.  I've used the one by
Metabuilders

Hi ASP.NET gurus,

I want to use a Repeater control to display a bunch of records.  Got
that part figured out.  Now I want each record to have next to it a
radio button so I can select exactly one record and then click "next".
I'm using <asp:RadioButton> to create the radio button, but when the
page is rendered each button has a different name and therefore the
browser doesn't group them together as it should and I can select as
many as I'd like.  I've already tried setting GroupName.  What else am I
missing.

TIA,
