John, Thanks for the response. Yeah, I am aware of the delete, edit columns in datagrid. The problem is that they work only on individual rows. In the applicatoin I am developing the users need to delete more than 10 records at a time... so it would be a pain for them. But, I actually found what the problem was. I was binding the datagrid on the load event of the page, but I forgot to put the code in the "not ispostback" if statement... so it was regenerating the grid every time the page refreshed... and since the checkbox is not binded to anything, it returned its value to "false".... it has been a long day, and that was a stupid ovelook on my part.. once again, thanks for the input.

In the meantime, you may already know this but there is a "delete button" column type for datagrids that will allow you to execute a procedure (ie run a delete query) for individual rows. If you click on the "property builder" link for your datagrid and then open the + next to the button column (under columns section of the control window) you can then add a 'delete' column to your datagrid (in place of your checkbox column). You then assign the name of your delete procedure to the "OnDeleteCommand" parameter of your datagrid and set the "DataKeyField" property of the datagrid to the id column of your data (whatever identifies each row) and reference it in the delete procedure ( myDataGrid.DataKeys(objArgs.Item.ItemIndex) ) where objArgs is of type "DataGridCommandEventArgs". Therefore, a user simply clicks 'delete' for a given row and the row is removed from the datagrid/database. The operation is very fast and is easy to implement. Will look into the checkbox issue......

Obviously i am populating the datagrid with some records, but the first column (the checkbox) is not part of the dataset. I just want the user to check on the checkbox if the record needs to be deleted. My problem is that even if the box is checked, when I try to capture the value with the "btnDeleteSelectedClicked" event is always "false". Also as soon as I click on the "Delete" link button in the datagrid footer, all the checkboxes in the grid return to "false". What am I doing wrong... please help TIA, Victor '*** This is my html **** <asp:datagrid id="dgrTimeOffList" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="SelectionIndexChanged" OnPageIndexChanged="PageIndexChanged" AllowPaging="True" ForeColor="#004477" Font-Size="X-Small" Font-Names="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" BorderWidth="1px" BorderColor="Black" BorderStyle="Solid" GridLines="None" CellSpacing="2" CellPadding="2" ShowFooter="True" Width="600px" Height="150px" PageSize="10"> <SelectedItemStyle BorderStyle="Solid" BorderColor="#E0E0E0" BackColor="Silver"> </SelectedItemStyle> <AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="PaleGoldenrod"> </AlternatingItemStyle> <HeaderStyle Height="20px" BackColor="#999999"> </HeaderStyle> <Columns> <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText=Select> <ItemTemplate> <center> <asp:CheckBox ID=DeleteThis Runat=server> </asp:CheckBox> </center> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate> <asp:LinkButton ID=btnDeleteSelected OnClick="btnDeleteSelectedClicked" Runat=server> Delete </asp:LinkButton> </FooterTemplate> </asp:TemplateColumn> </Columns> <PagerStyle PageButtonCount="3" Mode="NumericPages"> </PagerStyle> </asp:datagrid> '**** This is my code **** Public Sub btnDeleteSelectedClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim intCount As Integer Dim _item As DataGridItem Dim cbxDelete As CheckBox For intCount = 0 To dgrTimeOffList.Items.Count - 1 _item = dgrTimeOffList.Items(intCount) cbxDelete = _item.FindControl("DeleteThis") If cbxDelete.Checked Then Response.Write(cbxDelete.Checked.ToString) End If Next End Sub --- You are currently subscribed to dotnet as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --------- Administrated by 15 Seconds : http://www.15Seconds.com List Archives/Search : http://local.15Seconds.com/search Subscription Information : http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm Advertising Information: http://www.internet.com/mediakit/ The content contained in this electronic message is not intended to constitute formation of a contract binding TWTC.
