Hey guys,
I keep running into situtations where I have long checkboxlist or radiobutton lists - maybe 20-100 items or so but when a certain one of them is checked/unchecked (suppose it's always item #100) a method needs to be called.

Is there a better way to do this besides

<asp:checkboxlist id="uxList" onselectindexchanged="method" ...

protected void method(...){
 if( uxList.Items[100].Checked == true){ /* do somethign */}
 //else exit method
}

As it is above, a postback is made for every single item the user checks and it slows down their input process. I don't really want to extract the item into it's own control.

Can I make it so that when that item in the list and only that item is checked/selected/unchecked/unselected method() fires?

OK, from my experience you have two options.

1. Take out the options that need to have codebehind and assign them to normal checkboxes so when the user clicks a normal box they do not have to wait for the postback.

2. The best option is to encapsulate in AJAX updatepanel.
