GridClientSelectColumn programtic selection from database

[Nathan]

I am creating a timesheet application and need to be able to associate users to assignments.  I am currently using a grid to display all users in the organization, with a GridClientSelectColumn accompanying each user.  The administrator of the system would select the checkbox next to a users name to let the system know that the selected user can log time to that assignment.  The problem that I am encountering is that I see no way to populate the checkboxes of the users that are already associated with the assignment. 

The other option that I have explored is to use a GridBoundColumn with a template employing a checkbox in the item template.  This option does not work for me because it requires three clicks to select each user:  First click = Edit, Second click = check the associate checkbox, Third click = Accept.  This is extremely inefficient when there are several users that need to be associated with each assignment.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Nathan,

I'm not sure of your requirement but from my understanding, I suppose you want to select rows for a set of users. If so, check out the following code.
cs:

  protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem dataitem in RadGrid1.Items)
        {
            if (dataitem["bool"].Text == "True")
            {
                dataitem.Selected = true;
            }
        }
    }
