How can I get selected values from radio button list and check box list?

Question

I'm trying to get selected values from radio button list and check box list at asp.net, C#. Here's my code.

aspx.cs

protected void Next_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var retList = new List<string>();

        foreach (RepeaterItem item in questionRepeater.Items)
        {
            // Checking the item is a data item
            if (item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {

                var rdbList = item.FindControl("RadioButtonList1") as RadioButtonList;
                // Get the selected value
                if (rdbList != null)
                {
                    retList.Add(rdbList.SelectedValue);
                }
            }
        }


        foreach (RepeaterItem item in questionRepeater.Items)
        {
            // Checking the item is a data item
            if (item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                var rdbList = item.FindControl("CheckBoxList1") as CheckBoxList;
                // Get the selected value
                if (rdbList != null)
                {
                    retList.Add(rdbList.SelectedValue);
                }
            }



        }
    }

aspx

<asp:Repeater ID="questionRepeater" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
     <div runat="server" visible='<%# (Eval("QUESTION_TYPE").ToString() == 
     "0") %>'> 
      <table style="width:100%; table-layout: fixed;">

Answer 1

you can try something like this:

using System.Linq
...
foreach (RepeaterItem item in questionRepeater.Items)
{
    // Checking the item is a data item
    if (item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
        var rdbList = item.FindControl("CheckBoxList1") as CheckBoxList;
        // Get the selected value
        if (rdbList != null)
        {
            //get selected items' values 
            List<string> selectedItems = rdbList.Items.Cast<ListItem>()
                .Where(li => li.Selected)
                .Select(li => li.Value)
                .ToList();

            //add to your list of strings
            retList.AddRange(selectedItems);
        }
    }
}

or, in case you don't want to use Linq,

if (item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
    var rdbList = item.FindControl("CheckBoxList1") as CheckBoxList;
    // Get the selected value
    if (rdbList != null)
    {
        foreach (ListItem li in rdbList.Items)
        {
            if (li.Selected)
                retList.Add(li.Value);
        }
    }
}
