[RESOLVED] Create an online multiple choice exam
Hi. I want to create an online exam. I have my questions, the multiple choice options, and the correct answer saved in a table in the database. I want to dynamically populate a web form with all the questions and answer choices in a radio button list. I want all the questions to be on one web page. When the user clicks submit I want to check all the answers chosen and compare it with the correct answers from the database, and then give the user his score. I searches alot online but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to figure out the score. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hey,
Have a look at the following:
http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/
Specifically at the section called:
"Videos for ASP.NET 2.0 Beginners using Visual Web Developer 2005"
This video series build up a Quiz Engine exactly as you have described.
Hope that helps!!

Thanks, that was quite helpful.
It doesn't discuss what to do regarding a test where the user hits the back button and then does next etc.
Do you have any idea what the best way to do that would be?
Thanks!

You can't find a resource that talks about every single aspect of an application, this is just something you'll need to add as you go along.
Start with the database design - how you're going to represent that data. This is going to be important.
There was a thread similar to yours recently - http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=553369
Have a look through it, especially at the diagrams to give you an idea of how to go about creating the tables.
