Remarks

The CheckedChanged event is raised when the value of the Checked property changes between posts to the server. This event does not post the page back to the server unless the AutoPostBack property is set to true.

Note

A CheckBox control must persist some values between posts to the server for this event to work correctly. Be sure that view state is enabled for this control.

For more information about handling events, see How to: Consume Events in a Web Forms Application.
