CheckBox and CheckBoxList Web Server Controls

The CheckBox and CheckBoxList Web server controls provide a way for users to switch between true-false or yes-no options.

Because there are two different controls, and because they function somewhat differently, it is important to understand their different purposes. The topics in this section provide information on what the CheckBox and CheckBoxList are, how they are different, and how to work with each type of control.
