How to get SelectedValue from array of dynamic RadioButtonList?

Question

Can anyone help me in getting the selected value from my dynamic RadioButtonList , I always get a null value in my choices[x].SelectedValue in my Button_Click event.

Does anyone knows how to fix this problem? Thank you. Here's my Code Behind:

public static string[] questions;
public static string[] ans;
Random rand = new Random();
string[] option = new string[3];
static int items;
public static Label[] ques;
public static RadioButtonList[] choices;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if (!IsPostBack)
    {               

        GetRandomQuestionClass.Get_No_Of_Items(Convert.ToInt32(Session["user"]));
        items = GetRandomQuestionClass.NO_OF_ITEMS;                                                                                                      GetRandomQuestionClass.LOAD_QUESTION_ID(Session["QuizLessonCategory"].ToString());
        ques = new Label[items];
        questions = new string[items];
        ans = new string[items];
        choices = new RadioButtonList[items];
        for (int x = 0; x < items; x++)
        {
            //int i = 0;
            ques[x] = new Label();
            ques[x].ID = "ques" + x.ToString();
            questions[x] = GetRandomQuestionClass.LOAD_QUESTIONS(x);
            ques[x].Text = Convert.ToString(x + 1) + ".) " + GetRandomQuestionClass.LOAD_QUESTIONS(x);
            choices[x] = new RadioButtonList();
            choices[x].ID = "choices" + x.ToString();

            GetRandomQuestionClass.GET_OPTIONS(x);

            ans[x] = GetRandomQuestionClass.LOAD_ANSWER(x);
            holder.Controls.Add(ques[x]);
            choices[x].Items.Add(new ListItem (GetRandomQuestionClass.LOAD_ANSWER(x)));
            choices[x].Items.Add(new ListItem (GetRandomQuestionClass.OPT1));
            choices[x].Items.Add(new ListItem (GetRandomQuestionClass.OPT2));
            choices[x].Items.Add(new ListItem (GetRandomQuestionClass.OPT3));

            holder.Controls.Add(choices[x]);
        }
    }

}


protected void ButtonSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int score=0;
    for (int x = 0; x < items; x++)
    {
        RadioButtonList rb; 
        //rb=(RadioButtonList)FindControl("choices0");
        rb = (RadioButtonList)Page.FindControl("choices0");
        score = ComputeGradeClass.Score_Counter(ques[x].Text.ToString(),     choices[x].SelectedValue);
    }
    ComputeGradeClass.Grade(score);
}

Because you are creating the RadioButtonList controls dynamically , you need to make sure you build your items on every Postback..

Otherwise the Server will not understand anything about the controls. You can see them on the screen but you cannot access them..

So move your code of creating the RadioButtonList's controls to the outside off if (!IsPostBack) block and then try...

EDIT Instead of this

score = ComputeGradeClass.Score_Counter(ques[x].Text.ToString(),     choices[x].SelectedValue);

Try

score = ComputeGradeClass.Score_Counter(ques[x].Text.ToString(), rb.SelectedValue);
