YouTipProp Webcontrol Radiobuttonlist Repeatdirection
## ASP.NET RadioButtonList RepeatDirection Property
The `RepeatDirection` property is used to get or set the layout direction of the items within a `RadioButtonList` control. It determines whether the radio buttons are displayed horizontally or vertically.
---
## Definition and Usage
By default, the items in a `RadioButtonList` are rendered vertically (one item per row). By using the `RepeatDirection` property, you can change this behavior to display the items horizontally (side-by-side in a single row), which is highly useful for optimizing screen space and improving form layouts.

## Syntax
```xml
```
### Property Values
| Value | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `Horizontal` | Displays the radio button items horizontally in rows. |
| `Vertical` | **Default.** Displays the radio button items vertically in columns. |
---
## Code Examples
### Example 1: Horizontal Layout
The following example demonstrates how to set the `RepeatDirection` of a `RadioButtonList` control to `Horizontal` so that the options appear side-by-side:
```xml
```
### Example 2: Vertical Layout (Default)
If you omit the `RepeatDirection` property, or explicitly set it to `Vertical`, the items will stack on top of each other:
```xml
```

## Key Considerations
* **Layout Control with RepeatLayout:** The visual rendering of `RepeatDirection` can be influenced by the `RepeatLayout` property. For example, if `RepeatLayout` is set to `Table` (the default), the control renders as an HTML ``. If set to `Flow`, it renders using inline elements like `` or `
