hi,
im using asp.net in vb.net and a oledbconnection. I am creating a multiple choice quiz system where 1 record in a datase contains the question and 4 possible answers and is displayed on the screen. the record also contains the correct answer which is NOT displayed on the screen. so far my code currently displays the questions from the database on the screen with the 4 possible answers attached to a radio button list. can anyone please tell me how i can get the answer selected by the user (when a radio button item is selected) and match it to the correct answer field in the database and increment a score by 1.

RadioButtonList.SelectedValue or RadioButtonList.SelectedItem(RadioButtonList.Selec tedIndex).Text

Compare it against the answer (I'm guessing in a data table), then call an update statement:

update scores set score = score + 1 where user = <user name>

or something like that. You can also increment a score field in a datarow, and then use the OLEDBDataAdapter.update statement to update it to the database.

Hope this helps,

Brian
