Currently doing this exercise and for some strange reason it isn't working! Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'v followed through the tutorial to the letter (apart from giving the CheckBox a meaningful name because I cannot find the Text property)

But when I try to enter the following code:

Panel1.Visible = CheckBoxList1.Checked

It doesen't recognise the 'Checked' part of it and gives the following error message when trying to run.

Error 1 'Checked' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBoxList'. I:\ASP\PlanetWrox\Demos\Containers.aspx.vb 7 26 I:\ASP\PlanetWrox

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Hi Steve,

You dragged the wrong control from the Toolbox. You shouldn't use a CheckBoxList but a CheckBox instead. Then this code works fine:

Panel1.Visible = CheckBox<s>List</s>1.Checked

You'll also see that the control then has a Text property.

For future posts related to the book, can you please post the in the book's own forum here at P2P: http://p2p.wrox.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=386 Makes it easier for me (and others) to keep track of book related posts; I almost overlooked this one.

Cheers,

Imar

No problem at all Imar (I feel honoured you replied!).

Just trying to crack the ListBox and then I'll get back onto this. (Need to prove to my employees that i can do this...already done it in Access many years ago but want to take my skills on a step further now)

Feel free to post follow up questions with regards to the cascading drop down list. It's probably best to create a separate thread for it in the general Beginning ASP.NET forum.

Cheers,

Imar
