[Solved] Obtaining the state of the Checkbox

[Chris]

OK, I've been searching for an answer for quite a while now and still, nothing works.  I've tried both CheckboxColumn and Template column.  In both cases, I can check the box on the form, but when I do a postback, the state is always reported as the default in which I set it.

I'm not doing anything fancy here.  All I want is to be able to loop through the records and see if the user checked anything and set up the operation I need to do on that. 

Here is the current code:

ASPX:

               <radG:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="cbCol"
                                        HeaderText="Select">
                  <ItemTemplate>  
                     <asp:CheckBox ID="cbSelection" runat="server" Checked="false" />  
                  </ItemTemplate>  
               </radG:GridTemplateColumn>                 


ASPX.CS

   protected void ExecuteSubmit(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      foreach (GridDataItem X in RadGrid1.Items)
      {
         CheckBox ItemSelect = (CheckBox)X["cbCol"].FindControl("cbSelection");

         if (ItemSelect.Checked)
         {
                 //  NEVER reaches here if checkbox was defaulted to 'unchecked' regardless of the state of the control on postback.
         }
      }
   }

What am I missing?

Hello Chris,

The checkbox control state is not persisted on postbacks so you need to persist the checked state on CheckChanged event of the checkbox and then loop through the rows in the grid. You may find the following help document article useful to achieve the same scenario.
