Hi all,

I have a user control that contains a repeater that generates a list of
check boxes. The checkboxes render fine, but they don't maintain their
checked state on postback.

I've tried using Page_Load, Page_Init, OnInit, enabling and disabling
viewstate without success. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

ASCX:

<asp:Repeater ID="countryList" runat="server">
    <HeaderTemplate>
        <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
    </HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <tr>
            <td><asp:CheckBox ID="countryID" Value='<%# Eval("CountryID") %>'
runat="server" /></td>
            <td><asp:Label AssociatedControlID="countryID" runat="server"><%#
Eval("Name") %></asp:Label></td>
            <td><img src="<%# string.Format("/images/flags/{0}.gif",
Eval("CountryID")) %>" height="13" width="24" /></td>
        </tr>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <FooterTemplate>
        </table>
    </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

ASCX.CS:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // get countries
    countryList.DataSource = Country.GetCountries();
    DataBind();
}
