Hello,

Maybe this article could help you, since the steps are a little bit too complex to explain in a few lines: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306227

Hi,

you can use TemplateFields for the GridView:

                 <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">

                   <Columns>

                        <asp:TemplateField >
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:CheckBox ID="myCheckBox" runat="server" />
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>

                  </Columns>

               </asp:GridView>

Hope this helps:)

Thanks both of u

You may want to convert everything in your GridView into TemplateFields,

after that, you will need to FindControl each of those TemplateField controls in the GridView. Finding a control in a GridView is like this:

Dim myLabel As New Label
ClusterName = GV.Rows(1).Cells(2).FindControl("myLabelinTheGridViewTemplateField")

 Ill wait for your pending post, then ill discuss further over there :)

Cheers

I generally always use templateFields too since i generally don't want things to be line up in columns.

1-in the smart Gridview Tasks that pops open when you drop a gridview on the form , Click on Edit Columns.

2- In the listbox on the top left side , click on TemplateField and push the add button. The field is added to the bottom left list.

3- you can set a couple of the field properties in the right side  (the Header text might be a good start.)

4- When you hit ok, the popup is still open, click on Edit Templates... and customize your ItemTemplate. (depending on what you want the EditItemTemplate and the ItemTemplate to look like ).

Pickick a GridView, Connect it to a table.

- Go to the 'Edit-Columns' of the GridView.
- Add a 'template-field'

- Hit OK.

- Now, go to the 'Edit-Template' of the GridView.
- In the 'Column[0]' of the Item-Template, drag-drop a CheckBox
- Check out whats the ID of the CheckBox (must be CheckBox1)

-- That's it.
Now Stop 'Editing Template'

 In the Code-Behind use the following code :

foreach (GridViewRow gr in GridView1.Rows)
        {
            CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)gr.Cells[0].FindControl("CheckBox1");
            if (cb.Checked)
            {
                  // do ur job here

            }
        }

thus u can access ur checkbox by iterating thru the GridView Rows.

hope this explained alot for u
