Controls You Can Use on Web Forms   ASP.NET Standard Controls   CheckBox and CheckBoxList Controls

---

You can add a check box to a Web Forms page in two ways:

• By adding an individual CheckBox Web server control.
• By adding a CheckBoxList control and adding individual list items to the control.

NOTE: This topic addresses how to add individual CheckBox controls to the page.

For details about the differences in these approaches, see Introduction to the CheckBox and CheckBoxList Controls.

1. Declare an <asp:CheckBox> element on the page. For syntax, see CheckBox Control Syntax.
2. Specify a caption by setting the Text property.
3. Optionally, change the orientation of the caption by setting the TextAlign property.
