Choose either C# or VB.NET, while these two can be mixed it doesn't make sense here.
What exactly do you need help with?
if you want someone to tell you how to do it from A to Z then I think you're out of luck unless you bring out your wallet.

I wouldn't do it that way. I would have a counter in a candidate object that gets updated when user clicks submit (adds one if his box is checked). But hey, that's just me.

I would also use radio buttons, but again, that's just me.

Thats how I would of done it too, have the candidate hold the number of votes rather than the checkbox / radio button

Solution 1

Inherit a new control from the Checkbox. Add a property to count, then tick that count up every time the checkbox is selected.
