I am not happy with the way a couple of radio buttons look. I used the RadioButtonList Control.

Here's my code:

<tr>
 &nbs p; <td height="42" align="right" valign="top" bgcolor="#e8e8e8">
 &nbs p; Show Email Address?</td>
 <td colspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#e8e8e8"> 
 <asp:RadioButtonList id=radShowEmail runat="server" Columns="30">
 <asp:ListItem Value="0" selected="True">Yes</asp:ListItem>
 <asp:ListItem Value="1">No</asp:ListItem>

 </asp:RadioButtonList>
 </td></tr>

Here's how it looks:

Show Email Address?

< id=radShowEmail_0 = value=0 name=radShowEmail>Yes

< id=radShowEmail_1 = value=1 name=radShowEmail>No

I would like for No to be right of Yes. How do I work around this? I had no problem in Classic ASP.

The RadioButton List control has a Property for either Table Layout or Flow Layout. Change it to flow as it defaults to table.

How do you set it to Flow Layout? Thanks!

RadioButtonList1.RepeatLayout = RepeatLayout.Flow

or you actually set it as a property in the designer. It's one of the properties of the property window

Mart, I tried doing what you suggested. I got the following error message:

Parser Error Message: The server tag is not well formed.

Source Error:

Line 382:                          Show Email Address?</nobr></strong></font></td>
Line 383:            <td colspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#e8e8e8"> <p>             
Line 384:            <asp:RadioButtonList1.RepeatLayout = RepeatLayout.Flow id=radShowEmail runat="server" Columns="30"> 
Line 385:            <asp:ListItem Value="0" selected="True">Yes</asp:ListItem> 
Line 386:            <asp:ListItem Value="1">No</asp:ListItem>

Michael, I am new at Visual Studio .Net. I use notepad to edit my code a lot. Can you please explain how to do this? I tried finding it in Visual Studio .Net.

If you can't see the properties pane, View > Properties...

I was able to get the properties window up. However, I cannot get the web page do display Design and HTML tabs at the bottom. How do I get them to display? I clicked on ToolBars under View. I clicked on Design and HTML Editor.

Just double click your aspx file in Solution explorer and it will pop up

I finally figured out how to use Visual Studio .Net the way I wanted to with this web page. My code for this radio button is: <tr>
 <td height="42" align="right" valign="top" bgcolor="#e8e8e8">
 Show Email Address?</td>
 <td colspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#e8e8e8">
 
 <asp:RadioButtonList id="radShowEmail" runat="server" Columns="30" RepeatLayout="Flow">
 <asp:ListItem Value="0" Selected="True">Yes</asp:ListItem>
 <asp:ListItem Value="1">No</asp:ListItem>
 </asp:RadioButtonList>
 
 </td>
 </tr>

There's no error mesage now. But it is still not displaying the radio buttons. I want the yes radio button and no radio button to be on the same line. Maybe I'm missing something in my code.

<asp:RadioButtonList id="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatLayout="Flow">
 <asp:ListItem Value="yes">yes</asp:ListItem>
 <asp:ListItem Value="no">no</asp:ListItem>
 </asp:RadioButtonList>
