hi

i am sure this is a very easy one for you guys:

in my checboxlist there are 10 items.

i want to limit the user to choose (check) only 5 items out of these ten.

when the user will check the sixth item, the fifth will become unchecked and the sixth will become checked.

thanks

david

You can try with this:

    protected void CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int a = 0;
        foreach (ListItem b in CheckBoxList1.Items)
        {
            if (b.Selected == true)
            {
                a++;
            }
        }
        if (a > 5)
            foreach (ListItem b in CheckBoxList1.Items)
            {
                if (a > 5 && b.Selected == true)
                {
                    b.Selected = false;
                    a--;
                }
            }
    }

Or this:

    protected void CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Random ran = new Random();
        int a = 0;
        foreach (ListItem b in CheckBoxList1.Items)
        {
            if (b.Selected == true)
            {
                a++;
            }
        }
        if (a > 5)
        {
            while (a > 5)
            {
                int broj = ran.Next(0, 9);
                if (CheckBoxList1.Items[broj].Selected == true)
                {
                    CheckBoxList1.Items[broj].Selected = false;
                    a--;
                }
            }
        }
    }
