Hi JP,

No problem.  I've repeated the code with comments to help make some sense out of it (if it doesn't, let me know).

' For each row of the GridView RowDataBound is called after the row is created and data is bound to the row.
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
	' RowDataBound is called for each row, including the header/footer, so need to check that this is a DataRow (if it's
	' not, there's no point searching for a checkbox that doesn't exist).
If (e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow) Then
		' For any column that's a CheckBoxField, a Checkbox is created in the Controls collection for that Cell of the Row.
		' Need to get a reference to that CheckBox to check its properties.
Dim cb As CheckBox = CType(e.Row.Cells(1).Controls(0), CheckBox)
			

		If (cb.Checked = False) Then
			' If the CheckBox is not checked, change the background color for the whole row and the text color for only the
			' first cell.
e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.LightYellow
			e.Row.Cells(0).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
		Else
			' If the CheckBox is checked, change the text color for the whole row and enable the CheckBox (the default
			' for a DataRow is disabled).
e.Row.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Blue
			cb.Enabled = True
		End If
	End If
End Sub

Hope that helps.
