asp.net - auto checked the radiobutton if the same database

I want to have my radiobutton to be automatically be checked if the value in my database matches his. here is like this.

<asp:RadioButton ID="serviceable" GroupName="inputStatus" runat="server" Text="Serviceable" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="unserviceable" GroupName="inputStatus" runat="server" Text="Unserviceable" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="fordisposal" GroupName="inputStatus" runat="server" Text="For disposal" />

In my back code I am calling it like this.

   status = rdr["asset_status"].ToString();

then im thinking about doing an if or maybe javascript but I am not fond of using Javascript.. Sooo how can I use the variable status to define whether what radiobutton will be checked? Thank you

According to your code imagine you want to check your radiobutton with id serviceable in some conditions of status value.

 if(status=="somevalue")
 {
    serviceable.Checked = true;
 }

If your RadioButton ID exactly matchs your status you can check your radio according to status text without even using if statement.

 (this.FindControl(status.ToLower()) as RadioButton).Checked = true;

But if your radiobutton text exactly matchs your status I suggest you to use RadioButtonList and then you can use the following code snippet to select radiobuttons those text matchs exactly status.

RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex = RadioButtonList1.Items.IndexOf(RadioButtonList1.Items.FindByText(status));

you can use switch statement which are fast in performance than condition

string check = "For disposal";
 switch (check)
         {
                        case "Serviceable":
                            serviceable.Checked = true;
                            break; /* optional */
                        case "Unserviceable":
                            unserviceable.Checked = true;
                            break; /* optional */
                        case "For disposal":
                            fordisposal.Checked = true;
                            break; /* optional */


           }

it will check the case if it matches it will set that radio button to true and it will work on both webforms and winforms
