Check if at least one checkboxlist is selected

I have checkboxlist and I would like to check if at least one checkbox is checked. If none is checked then I want to show alert message that says please select at least one item. I want to do this in code behind if possible. I have started but don't know if it is right or wrong but not able to finish it.

 public void alert()
    {
        foreach (ListItem listItem in cblCustomerList.Items)
        {
            if (!listItem.Selected)
            {
            }
        }
    }

here is the checkboxlist in aspx:

 <asp:CheckBoxList ID="cblCustomerList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" CssClass="CheckBoxList"
            DataTextField="GroupName" DataValueField="GroupName" 
                onclick="readCheckBoxList()" >               
            </asp:CheckBoxList>

here is the button:

 <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" 
                            CommandName="Insert" Text="Insert" OnClientClick="return Validate_Checkbox()" />

Thanks for your help.

Solution

Edit:

Here is one sample code. its working to me

Must add this script file :<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

 <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function Validate_Checkbox() {
            var chks = $("#<%= cblCustomerList.ClientID %> input:checkbox");          

            var hasChecked = false;
            for (var i = 0; i < chks.length; i++) {
                if (chks[i].checked) {
                    hasChecked = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (hasChecked == false) {
                alert("Please select at least one checkbox..!");

                return false;
            }

            return true;
        }     
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:CheckBoxList ID="cblCustomerList" runat="server" CssClass="CheckBoxList">
            <asp:ListItem Value="0">xx</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Value="1">yy</asp:ListItem>
        </asp:CheckBoxList>
        <asp:Button ID="xx" runat="server" OnClientClick="javascript:Validate_Checkbox();return true;" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

and you change

<asp:CheckBoxList ID="cblCustomerList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" CssClass="CheckBoxList" DataTextField="GroupName" DataValueField="GroupName">             
            </asp:CheckBoxList>

control instead of my sample code . and call the javascript function in the button control.look my sample code.

Chears!!!

Edit

please add this script file

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

Instead of <script src="scripts/jquery-1.8.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
