Hi 

If you want to find out the status of a chekbox in a datagrid, use the 
following code

   myChkAdd as checkbox()

   For i = 0 To dgRateList.Items.Count - 1
              myChkAdd = dgRateList.Items(i).FindControl("CheckboxPAdd1")
   next

"CheckboxPAdd1" is the checkbox name given in the datagrid. 
dgRateList is the datagrid name.

When you refer with that name to find out the status, datagrid will have 
no of checkboxes based on your data, that is the reason you should find 
the control in a loop and assign it to another checkbox.

Hope this helps you.
