Subject: voting issue!
Posted By: D86j Post Date: 1/12/2007 2:30:42 PM
Hello All,

Well, I have a RadioButtonList with some values(answers for a question) i added manually, I want to know how i can get the number of people who voted for each item of that RadioButtom, the results should be displayed in the second page....(like the result of voting)...

I think it's a very easy vb code, but it doesn't work with me!, each time I click on one of the RadioButtons the result is increased by one but then gets 0 again when I reload the page....


can u help me in that please,
thanks

Diana

Are you storing the results in a database?

How do you intend to keep a running tally of all votes cast?  Session variables are only good for x user's session.

Yes, I used sessions for that, but it still doesn't increase the number of voters on the next page....

Ok I am having a hard time understanding what you are tyring to do, it doesn't seem logical. In any case if you want a tally of how many times the user voted for 1 item you would need a session variable for each answer in your list so

if a
   Session("something") = Convert.ToInt32(Session("Something")) + 1
if b
   Session("something2") = Convert.ToInt32(Session("Something2")) + 1

And so on.

In so far as polls are concerned, this not only isnt functional for your entire site, it is alot of coding.

You can use Session or ViewState to store the data.
