Ugh! Too much code.

How about in the code behind page, using

dgFoldersInfo.delMsg.Checked ?

or specifically, you must first find the control in the list,
something like:

CheckBox delMsg =
(CheckBox) dgFoldersInfo.Items[i].FindControl("delMsg");

then test:

if (delMsg.Checked == true) ...
cheers,
