hiding the text of the checkboxlist

I have a checkbox list that I am binding it with the database. I want only the checkbox part to be visible, i don't want the items associated to be visbible so for e.g if I have three items in my checkbox list, i just want three text boxes visible and text part to be hidden.

Below is my code

 checkboxlist1.DataSource = RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.Items; 
 checkboxlist1.DataBind();

Please let me know how can I acheive this.

Have you assigned a DataTextField property to your CheckboxList? Leaving that empty might help you.

If you just want to hide the text, a possible solution would be to hide the labels with css:

Css:

.noText label 
{
    display: none;
}

And in code behind, set the css class:

checkboxlist1.CssClass = "noText";
checkboxlist1.DataSource = RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.Items; 
checkboxlist1.DataBind();

Or set the css class in the html-file:

<asp:CheckBoxList ID="checkboxlist1" runat="server" CssClass="noText">

Another possible solution is to remove the text from the items:

checkboxlist1.DataSource = RadListBox_selectedAssistAgency.Items; 
checkboxlist1.DataBind();

foreach (ListItem item in checkboxlist1.Items)
{
    item.Text = ""; // Set text to empty.
}
