I'm sure this is simple to do but I'm stumped. I created an image gallery using a datalist. For each image, there are 2 radiobuttons (Approve, Disapprove). The radiobutton that needs to be checked is determined by the value of a field in a database. For example, if the DB field = "Y", the Approve radiobutton should be checked. If the DB field = "N", the Disapprove radiobutton should be checked. How do I get the correct radiobutton selected? Thanks
 
In your itemdatabound event, something like

Code: 
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
                Dim rbList As RadiobuttonList = e.Item.FindControl("rbList")
   If e.Item.DataItem("Approve") = "Y" Then
      rbList.Items.FindByValue("Approve").Selected = True
   Else
      rbList.Items.FindByValue("Disapprove").Selected = True
   End If
End If

make sure your radiobutonlist does not have anything selected or else you'll get an error, or unselect anything before you attempt to set an item.
