I have a DataGrid which is bound to a class except for 1 column which is a
checkbox. I want the user to be able to check/uncheck as many boxes as
possible without posting back to the server for each. When the user clicks a
link it will reload the grid with different data and I need to get the state
of the checkboxes prior to the grid being reloaded.

I can get the CheckBoxes to do an immediate postback but I don't like that
idea for 1 and 2, I can't tie the checkbox to the row it was in because
DataItem hasn't been assigned yet.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe -

I'd take a look at Andy Smith's free RowSelectorColumn:
http://www.metabuilders.com/Tools/Ro...torColumn.aspx

This control is also nice because it adds "select all / deselect all"
functionality.

Here's an article on how to implement it:

Thanks. I did figure out a way to do this but I'll take a look at these
links as well.
