RadioButtonList

RadioButtonList presents all options as a radio group; users click to select one. Compared with a dropdown, all options are directly visible for faster selection.

Specific Settings

List Collection

One option per line:

Very satisfied
Satisfied
Neutral
Dissatisfied

Direction

• Vertical: options stacked vertically (default).

• Horizontal: options laid out horizontally.

Column

The number of columns to display — valid only when Horizontal is selected. Set 2 or 3 columns for many options to keep the layout compact.

Default Value

The pre-selected option; it must exist in List Collection.

Width

The control width (pixels or percent).

Mandatory Validation

Check Required so an option must be selected before submitting.

Use Cases

• Satisfaction ratings (Very satisfied / Satisfied / Neutral / Dissatisfied)
• Yes/No questions
• A moderate number of options (2–8) that benefit from being directly visible

TIP

With many options (8+) consider DropDownList to save page space.
