how to get selected items count in asp:checkboxlist

Question

i have a checkboxlist control

Answer 1

We will iterate through the checkboxlist and use a counter variable for counting selected items. For every item in checkboxlist we will add 1 to counter variable selCount if item is checked

int selCount = 0;   

for(int i= 0; i< chklst.Items.Count; i++) 
  if(chklst.Items[i].Selected)
      selCount++;

// Now selCount will contain the count of selected items
