Remarks

Use this property to specify whether the state of the CheckBox control is posted back to the server when clicked.

Note

Setting this property to true causes a round trip to the server every time the control is clicked.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.
