Checkbox inside gridview.

[fififlowertot]

Hi, I have a checkbox inside a gridview which is bound to data at runtime except the checkbox templatefield. At server side I am trying to capture the row details for the row which is selected. I get the checkbox but the checkbox.checked is always false even when it is selected.

protected void btnSelect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{

        CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("chkAgency");
                   
        
        if (chk != null && chk.Checked)             
        {
            Response.Cookies\["thistestcookie"\].Value = row.Cells\[0\].Text.ToString();
         }         
    }     

how do i get the checked checkbox row details ?! Thanks, Fifi

lets see the markup where you defined the checkbox ?

ok i see where your problem is. You assume if you add a checkbox, it will carry the ID of the checked field , that is not true. I normally create an extra template field and bind the label with the value and as you did on the server side, i find the label and get the value. I have compiled an example and this will help you html

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server" 
    DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField>
        <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBox ID="chkAgency" runat="server" />
        </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField>
        <ItemTemplate>                     
        
        <asp:Label ID="lblid" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ID")%>'></asp:Label>
        </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:BoundField DataField = "ID" HeaderText = "ID" InsertVisible="False" 
            ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="ID" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField ="Descr" HeaderText = "Descr" SortExpression="Descr"/>
        <asp:BoundField DataField = "LongName" HeaderText = "LongName" 
            SortExpression="LongName"/>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Capacity" HeaderText="Capacity" 
            SortExpression="Capacity" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Note" HeaderText="Note" SortExpression="Note" />
 </Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
    ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:TTBLv3MasterConnectionString %>" 
    SelectCommand="select \* from dbo.TBL\_VENUE"></asp:SqlDataSource>

<asp:Button ID="btntest" Text="Test" runat="server" onclick="btntest_Click" />

and the server side

protected void btntest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{

        CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("chkAgency");


        Label lblid = (Label)row.FindControl("lblid");

        List<string> lstList = new List<string>();

        if (chk != null && chk.Checked)
        {
            //Response.Cookies\["thistestcookie"\].Value = row.Cells\[0\].Text.ToString();
            lstList.Add(lblid.Text);
        }
