I'm using ASP.Net and VB.net

I have 18 choices - 18 checkboxes. The user can choose 1, a few, or all.
What is the best structure to record and write the response? Select/Case
statement? Or is that only for ONE choice?
 
I prefer a hybrid solution which I have found useful. The outer statement
will often use a single if branching logic statement to determine if any
selections have been made. Within the if statement block I then use the
switch statement as each successive case can be passed conditional logic and
is easier to read, modify and maintain than continuing to nest if branching
logic statements.

Click to expand...

use one event handler for all checkboxes, check the sender - checkbox
control - TagName property. Make sure you set the TagName property for
each check box to unique id. Use that id as key to store the check/
unchecked boolean value in hash table or any other collection.
