    I want to have a check box column, that if there is test/value in column1, I want to check box to be checked.  If there isn't any value, I don't want it to be checked. What's easiest way to implement this?

    Hi Mark,

    Once the grid is loaded you can iterate all rows and set the value. Then you will need to update it only when the other value is changed. Here is the code:
    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnLoad(e);
        foreach (GridViewRowInfo row in radGridView1.Rows)
        {
            if (row.Cells["Name"].Value == null || row.Cells["Name"].Value == DBNull.Value)
            {
                row.Cells["CheckBoxCol"].Value = false;
            }
            else
            {
                row.Cells["CheckBoxCol"].Value = true;
            }
        }
        radGridView1.CellValueChanged += RadGridView1_CellValueChanged;
    }
      
    private void RadGridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column.Name == "Name")
        {
            if (e.Value == null || e.Value == DBNull.Value)
            {
                e.Row.Cells["CheckBoxCol"].Value = false;
            }
            else
            {
                e.Row.Cells["CheckBoxCol"].Value = true;
            }
        }
      
    }

    I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

    This is ok, but I am data binding the grid.  I am then manually adding a checkboxgridcolumn after the binding and I want that check box to be checked if data in a field is not null and not empty.

    Hello Mark,

    You can change the "if' statement like this:
    if (row.Cells["Name"].Value != null && row.Cells["Name"].Value.ToString() != String.Empty )
    {
        row.Cells["CheckBoxCol"].Value = false;
    }
    else
    {
        row.Cells["CheckBoxCol"].Value = true;
    }

    Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    So, i have to manually update each row's checkbox column when I load the data?   I was hoping for something a little more automatic.

    Hi Mark,

    Another approach you can use is to create a custom function that checks for this and use it with expression column. Detailed information is available in the following articles:
