Radio button does not get selected

Question

I have some code, in which I want to select one of the two radio buttons on my form, based on the data in the database. The code is as below:

string gender;
using (OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
            {
                cn.Open();
                string scmd = "select [Customer_Name], [Address], [Contact_No], [Gender], [Issued_By] from Regular_Customers where Customer_Name = '" + cBoxCustomers.SelectedItem.ToString() + "'";
                OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(scmd, cn);
                OleDbDataReader sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                while (sdr.Read())
                {
                    txtName.Text = sdr[0].ToString(); ;
                    txtAddress.Text = sdr[1].ToString();
                    txtContactNo.Text = sdr[2].ToString();
			 gender = sdr[3].ToString();
 MessageBox.Show("Gender is: "+gender);
                    
                    if (gender == "M")
                    {
                        radioBtnMale.Select();
                    }

                    if (gender == "F")
                    {
                        radioBtnFemale.Select();
                    }

                    txtIssuedBy.Text = sdr[4].ToString();
                }
            }

I have used this MessageBox to see what is getting stored in the variable gender. The value M/F are coming properly in the gender variable. But the radio buttons does not get selected. Can anyone suggest the solution?

 

Answer 1

Try this

 

if (gender == "M")
                    {
                        radioBtnMale.Checked = True;
                    }

                    if (gender == "F")
                    {
                        radioBtnFemale.Checked = True;

                    }

Answer 4

This is a sign that you did not create the radio buttons properly.

The radio buttons need to be associates to each other.

You should use a panel, groupbox or create a radio button list in order to achieve this.

Answer 5

If you are sure the gender is only F or M than only select one of those. 

A radio button in a container which is set will direct deselect all other radio buttons in the containers.

If you want that you can have both F and M gender the same time use a checkbox with the radiobutton property for that set to true.

Select() will put the focus on a control. Use the Checked property.
