Hi,
I have a datalist with a checkbox for each row in the itemtemplate, and i'd like to know a couple of things: 1, how do I default this checkbox as checked on load? and 2, is there a way to dynamically check the boxes on load? (i.e. i want all checkboxes whose value starts with "B" to be checked)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use the ItemDataBound event of the datalist. You can then get a refernce to the checkbox in that row, and check and uncheck as needed.
