checkbox in c#

Hi Arbnor,

If my answer helped, can you please spend a few seconds to tick 'Do you like this answer' checkbox. It helps me.

well jacob i don't think that i'm a total beginner.second day after i began programming in c# i have explored properties of toolboxes(i think everybody does the same).if i was a total beginner i wouldn't know how to save a checkbox state in a *.txt file.and to add something, i haven't edit my posts.
@niki d:a big thank for understanding me and a big thank for giving me a solution.

Looks like he edited his last post after my submission.  Yes, Niki D is right and provides the easiest solution to do what you want.

Hi Friend,

I don't think none of the above answers helped you.

I have a solution. It's easy. You can add a setting to your settings.settings file. It resides inside 'Properties' folder of your project. First you add a setting there. Then you use it to keep the checkbox state. You can set that value to checkbox state at the form load. When you change the checkbox state, the value of that setting is changed.

I have done everything in the code attached.

Please check my code.


Please do not forget to tick 'Do you like this answer' checkbox, if my answer helps.

You seem to be a total beginner and some people don't realise that because they haven't been at your knowledge level for a while.  I try to retain that beginner mentality but have a bigger knowledge base. 
 

With that having been said, every Object (ie. checkBox, textBox, comboBox ect..) that you can select from the toolbox will have a list of properties.  Click on your checkbox to select it, look at the bottom right (VS 2008) and you will see a box marked "Properties".  If it isn't there then click "View" from the top menu and then select "Properties Window".  These are the different setting you can give your checkBox and like Sam said, there is one called "Checked" which is set to false by default.  You can change that to true and it will always be checked when you run your program.  Now to give the user some way to save if they want this box to be checked or unchecked then you will need to use some sort of way to store that data and then retrieve it when the program starts. 
 

On another note, no one is here to teach you how to program using C# or any other language for that matter so I'll suggest a tutorial that I used when first started out.  It is very nice and shouldn't confuse someone that is just starting.  The link is  http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/csharp/csharp.html  follow it from beginning to end and it will answer a lot of questions and give you a good foundation to build on.  Good luck in your travels.
 
If I have offended you in any way about me assuming that your knowledge of C# and Visual Studio is at the beginner level then please don't take it to heart.  I'm just here to help and get a few of my questions answered along the way.

You can use the CheckBox.Checked Property to get and set the checked state of the CheckBox.

You say you "didn't ask for data storing" yet you say "storing checkbox state in a *.txt file". They are the same thing; you are saying you don't want to do it then you say you do want to do it. Please, instead of trying to explain what you think I don't understand, try to understand what you don't understand.

I am sorry, but it is your choice to decide how to store the data; there are so many ways to store data that no one can know what you are thinking, unless they are psychic.
 
Unless you are happy to accept any answer I give, even if you can't use it. Note that if anyone else gives you an answer, and it does not work for you, then it is because you did not specify what you need.
 
Whenever you ask a question such as this, in any forum or newsgroup, someone is going to ask you to calrify the question. It really helps to learn how to be more specific about what you need help with.
