This code works as is. But when you add a datasource to the list the selected property no longer represents the UI on the web page. Short of rolling a loop that fills the list from the data collection how can I get the items that are selected in the list on the page? (this behaviour is the same in a regular listbox as well as the checklistbox)

html src:
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="cblUsers" runat="server" >
  <asp:ListItem>Item 1</asp:ListItem><asp:ListItem>Item 2</asp:ListItem>
  <asp:ListItem>Item 3</asp:ListItem><asp:ListItem>Item 4</asp:ListItem>
</asp:CheckBoxList>

code behind:
        With cblUsers
            For x = 0 To .Items.Count - 1
                If .Items(x).Selected Then
                    Response.Write(.Items(x).Text & "<BR")
                End If
            Next
        End With

My humble thanks in advance,
