Filtering with Multiple selections (Checkbox list control)
I have a scenario where there is a large list of 2000+ items, these items each have a name associated to it. I now need to be able to filter this list by selecting the names from a Checkbox list, the problem is I cannot figure out how to get it to work when multiple values are selected. The current setup is Using a DVWP to display the items a Datasource control of all the names and then the ASP.NET Checkbox list control to act as a filter Can anyone help?

Hi, I think it is not possible to filter by Checklist box with multiple values OOB. You should custom a web part using ASP.Net programmatically.

Thanks for the response, I was a fraid that would be the case. I am not a programmer unfortunately so I may have to set this aside as a side project when I get the time. Still luckily the scneario changed slightly and the client will not be needing the multiple selections :) Thanks Again.

Actually yes you can filter by Checklist box with multiple values OOB, just use the field name for the filter and use Equal or No Equal comparison multiple times...i.e. Field1 Equals value1 and Field1 equals value2 and field1 NotEqual value3 that should do it.
