Message.Text = "Selected Item(s):<br><br>";

            // Iterate through the Items collection of the CheckBoxList
            // control and display the selected items.
            for (int i=0; i<checklist.Items.Count; i++)
            {

               if (checklist.Items[i].Selected)
               {

                  Message.Text += checklist.Items[i].Text + "<br>";

               }
