Thread: Binding data to the RadioButtonList Control

Hi guys

trying to bind data to my RadioButtonList control,
but i'm getting this error:

Code:

Code:

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblAddForms" runat="server">
                                <asp:ListItem Text='<%#Eval("Name")%>' Value='<%#Eval("Idkey")%>'></asp:ListItem>
                            </asp:RadioButtonList>

aspx.vb:

Code:

Public Sub Populate_rblAddForms()
        Dim FormsList As New FormsList

        myParams.OrderBy = "name ASC"
        FormsList = FormsManager.GetList(myParams)

        'bind data to rpAddForms repeater
        rblAddForms.DataSource = FormsList
        rblAddForms.DataBind()
    End Sub

Above is how i bind data to almost everything? what's the correct way to
bind to the RadioButtonList?

Try this:-

Code:

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblAddForms" runat="server" appenddatabounditems="true" datatextfield="Name" datavaluefield="Idkey" textalign="Left" />

Hope that helps...
