multiple checkboxes in a single column of gridview

[santoshjsh]

hello everyone,

i have a gridview in which i have multiple checkboxes in a single column.
means for every row in the gridview i have four checkboxes in one column e.g Add, Delete, Print, Modify.

now i need to bind these check boxes from database table according to the four different fields in the table in which the value is 0 and 1. if the column value is 1 than the checkbox should be displayed checked otherwise no.

i dont know how to handle such problem..

Hi santoshjsh,

To achieve this you can use the OnItemDataBound event of the datagrid to fire a function which will alter the properties of the controls inside your grid. The following example assumes you have a checkbox (chkAdd) and a label (lblAdd) inside your grid.

If E.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or E.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
Dim lblAdd As Label = E.Item.FindControl("lblAdd") 
Dim chkAdd As Checkbox = E.Item.FindControl("chkAdd")
 
If lblAdd.Text = "1" Then chkAdd.Checked = True
End If
 

Let me know how you get on,

Thanx Mr. DrBunchman for your response.

and sorry for my late reply.
i did it in some otherway.
first i edited the template and inserted a column in which i put 4 checkboxes. and then using Bind() from the designer view i bound that column with datasource.
