Itterate through a DataGrid

[Jim Heavey]

If I have a datagrid in which I have placed a "Check box" in one of the
columns and then I have a button (outside of the grid) when the user presses,
I want to do something with each line in the grid in which the user has
clicked the check box. How do I iterate through the datagrid and find my
check box control so that I can test the values to see if it has been checked?

Thanks in advance for your assistnance.

To find a value in a DataGrid (or datalist), you just need to do the
following:

Dim oAnswer as CheckBox

Dim oPositionID as Label

for each oGridItem as DataGridItem in DataGrid1.Items

oAnswer = CType(oGridItem.FindControl("lblAnswer"),CheckBox)

oPositionID = CType(oGridItem.FindControl("lblPositionID"),Label )

next

This will take you through the control chain for each DataGridItem and then
you use FindControl to find the control you are looking for by ID.

In my example, I am looking for a CheckBox and a Label on each DataGridItem.
