# Retriving radiobutton list from session

Retriving [radiobutton](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/233/get-checked-radiobutton-using-javascript) list [selection](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/60/populate-records-in-second-listbox-according-to-the-selection-in-first-list-box) from [session](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12042/session-in-c-sharp). I have a radiobutton list. I want to have what I selected when I return to the [page](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13031/why-to-make-a-wikipedia-page). The radiobutton list is filled from a [array of strings](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158840/create-a-rust-program-to-sort-an-array-of-strings-in-lexicographical-order)

## Adding selection to the session

```
  Session["selection"] = RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex;page load                     if (!IsPostBack)                    {                    RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex = (string)Session["selection"];                    }
```

Not working not sure why

ListControl.SelectedIndex Property

Gets or sets the lowest ordinal index of the selected items in the list.

Try This:

RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex = Convert.ToInt32(Session["selection"]);
