Isn't that a radiobutton list?

Why not use a RadioButtonList though? The definition of that is single-select, whereas CheckboxList provides a multi-select functionality. Unless you want something that clears the rest, like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

select all that apply:
[] a
[] b
[] c
[] none of the above

In which case, when the last one is selected, I'd just set the others to not selected.

You have to do that in code. On the CheckedChanged event , you clear all the currently checked items, and check the right one.
