Getting values from dynamically created Radio Button Lists

[yangchin78]

Hello,
I'm trying to create a quiz where there will be multiple lines of questions, pulled from a database. Each question will have several choices, only one of which will be selectable per line. The code I currently have is this

for each rw as datarow in ds1.tables("tblQuestions").rows
grpAnswers.id = "Question" & i
grpAnswers.Items.Add(New ListItem("Yes","1"))
grpAnswers.Items.Add(New ListItem("No","2"))
grpAnswers.Items.Add(New ListItem("Maybe","3"))
phQuiz.Controls.Add(grpAnswers)
i = i + 1
next

My question is, how do I get the selected value for each Radio Button List on the page? It looks like I have to use FindControl, but I'm not sure exactly how to write the code that I need. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

because you are adding controls dynamically you need to add them with each postback. the other option is to declaratively define the answers in the markup, or bind an enumeration to the radiobuttonlist control.

depending on how your are displaying the questions will determine how to best configure the answers. (dynamically built, repeater, gridview, formview, etc.)
