I have two checkboxes. If the first checkbox checked, the second checbox will be disabled and if the first checkbox unchecked, the second checkbox will be enabled.

<div class="data">

<asp:CheckBox ID="firstCheckBox" runat="server" CssClass="LabelText" EnableViewState="False" AutoPostBack="True" />

</div>



<div class="data">

<asp:CheckBox ID="secondCheckBox" runat="server" CssClass="LabelText" EnableViewState="False" AutoPostBack="True" />

</div>

Here is my control part at the Page_Load;

if (firstCheckBox.Checked)

{

    secondCheckBox.Enabled = false;



}

else

{

    secondCheckBox.Enabled = true;

}

When I checked the firstcheckbox, nothing happens to the secondcheckbox. After I checked the second checkbox, secondcheckbox has been checked and disabled.

What am I missing?

You can use javascript to enable or disable checkbox.
Here firstCheckBox & secondCheckBox are the id's of your checkbox.

if(document.getElementById("firstCheckBox").checked = true)

document.getElementById("secondCheckBox").disabled = true;

else

document.getElementById("secondCheckBox").disabled = false;

You can do it with checkBox CheckChanged event.
Please remove condition from load event of your form and add below code.

<div class="data">

<asp:CheckBox ID="firstCheckBox" runat="server" CssClass="LabelText" EnableViewState="False" AutoPostBack="True" OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox1_Check_Clicked" />

</div>



<div class="data">

<asp:CheckBox ID="secondCheckBox" runat="server" CssClass="LabelText" EnableViewState="False" AutoPostBack="True" OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox2_Check_Clicked" />

</div>



protected void CheckBox1_Check_Clicked(Object sender, EventArgs e) 

{

if(CheckBox1.Checked==true)

{

CheckBox2.Enable=false;

}

else

{

CheckBox2.Enable=true;

}

}





protected void CheckBox2_Check_Clicked(Object sender, EventArgs e) 

{

if(CheckBox2.Checked==true)

{

CheckBox1.Enable=false;

}

else

{

CheckBox1.Enable=true;

}

}

So you should have two CheckChanged events on each checkbox individual. Autopostback true. Same you can do with only one event if you apply some logic.

I assumed that you want to set Enabled state of second checkbox in server-side, hence you should handle CheckedChanged event from first checkbox like this example:

private void firstCheckBox_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    secondCheckBox.Enabled = !firstCheckBox.Checked;

}

The problem why the checkbox checked event handler is not triggered is because you're putting the logic inside Page_Load event instead of CheckedChanged event from first checkbox.

Similar issue:

If one checkbox is checked, set the other to unchecked
