C#

string strCheckValue = "";

        if (chk1.Checked)

        {

          strCheckValue = strCheckValue + "," + chk1.Text;

        }

        if (chk2.Checked)

        {

          strCheckValue = strCheckValue + "," + chk2.Text;

        }

        strCheckValue = strCheckValue.TrimStart(',');

Now store strCheckValue to Database.

How to insert the values from each checked checkboxes into the database

Shahin Khorshidnia · Answer 2 · 2013-07-13T01:06:00

Hi,

Create a class like this:

C#

[Serializable]
public class CheckBoxValue
{
    [XmlElement("Value")]
    public bool Value {get; set;}
    
    [XmlElement("CheckBoxName")]
    public string CheckBoxName{get; set;}
}

Then you can serialize it as Xml then insert it into Database.

Or use this solution:
multiple input from users to save in database in one column

cbkitems is CheckBoxList controlID

C#

if (cbkitems.SelectedIndex >= 0)
               {
                   string state1 = "";
                   foreach (ListItem s in cbkitems.Items)
                   {
                       if (s.Selected)
                       {

                           state1 += s + ",";

                       }
                   }
                   state1 = state1.Substring(0, state1.Length - 1);

                   DB_ColumnName = state1;



               }
               else
               {
                     DB_ColumnName  = "";
               }
       }
