Setting CheckBox control Text property in a Repeater Control

[GadeDinesh]

I have a checkbox in a repeater control. How to get the User,Administrator,Security Admin as the checkbox Names ?

private string[] AvailableRoles = { "User", "Administrator", "Security Admin" };

Repeater_Roles.DataSource = AvailableRoles; Repeater_Roles.DataBind();

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater_Roles" OnItemDataBound="Repeater_Roles_ItemDataBound" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox_Roles" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>


Thanks in Advance

I'm having difficulty understanding your problem. are you using a repeater to create a list of check boxes? do you want to set the value of each checkbox?

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater_Roles" OnItemDataBound="Repeater_Roles_ItemDataBound" runat="server">
   <ItemTemplate>
   <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox_Roles" runat="server" value='<%@#Container.DataItem%>' />
   </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

but it begs the question: why not use the checkboxlist control instead?
