I am using a datagrid in which i m adding the templated columns in the server-side code. The column contins the checkbox control.

I am using the following code to add the column.

IDataReader drRole;
drRole = RoleObj.GetRoleNames(RoleIDs);
while(drRole.Read())
{
TemplateColumn temcol1 = new TemplateColumn();
temcol1.HeaderTemplate = new DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Header, drRole[RoleDataDefinitions.FIELD_Name].ToString(), (int)Session["AdminLevel"]);
temcol1.ItemTemplate = new DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Item, drRole[RoleDataDefinitions.FIELD_Role_ID].ToString(), (int)Session["AdminLevel"]);
temcol1.EditItemTemplate = new DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.EditItem, drRole[RoleDataDefinitions.FIELD_Role_ID].ToString(), (int)Session["AdminLevel"]);
temcol1.FooterTemplate = new DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Footer, drRole[RoleDataDefinitions.FIELD_Role_ID].ToString(), (int)Session["AdminLevel"]);
this.grdModelRights.Columns.Add(temcol1);
}



Itemplate inherited Class

public class DataGridTemplate : ITemplate
{
ListItemType templateType;
string columnName;
int Level;

public DataGridTemplate(ListItemType type, string colname, int AdminLevel)
{
templateType = type;
columnName = colname;
Level = AdminLevel;
}

public void BindData(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)sender;
DataGridItem container = (DataGridItem) cb.NamingContainer;
cb.Checked = true;
cb.AutoPostBack = true;

}

private void OnRightsCheckChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckBox box = (CheckBox) sender;
DataGridItem container = (DataGridItem) box.NamingContainer;

Label lb = (Label)container.FindControl("hdnObjectID");
string objectID = lb.Text.ToString();
}

private void OnStatusCheckChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckBox box = (CheckBox) sender;
DataGridItem container = (DataGridItem) box.NamingContainer;

}

public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container)
{
CheckBox chkRightsID = new CheckBox();
CheckBox chkStatusID = new CheckBox();
/*chkRightsID.AutoPostBack = true;
chkStatusID.AutoPostBack = true;

chkRightsID.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(this.OnRightsCheckChanged);
chkStatusID.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(this.OnStatusCheckChanged);*/

Literal lc = new Literal();
switch(templateType)
{
case ListItemType.Header:
lc.Text = "" + columnName + "";
if (Level == 2)
{
lc.Text = lc.Text + "
Access Status";
}
container.Controls.Add(lc);
break;
case ListItemType.Item:
chkRightsID.ID = "chkRightsID?" + columnName;
//chkRightsID.DataBinding += new EventHandler(this.BindData);
container.Controls.Add(chkRightsID);
if (Level == 2)
{
chkStatusID.ID = "chkStatusID?" + columnName;
//chkStatusID.DataBinding += new EventHandler(this.BindData);
container.Controls.Add(chkStatusID);
}
break;
case ListItemType.EditItem:
TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.Text = "";
container.Controls.Add(tb);
break;
case ListItemType.Footer:
lc.Text = "" + columnName + "";
container.Controls.Add(lc);
break;
}
}


Code where the problem is coming
This code executes at the button click event where I want to check the state of the checkboxes. FindControl method always returns Undefined-Value while accessing the checkbox.

// Traverse the datagrid to delete the accounts selected.
foreach( DataGridItem di in this.grdModelRights.Items )
{
for (int i=0; i < RoleIDs.Length; i++)
{
CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)di.FindControl("chkRightsID?" + RoleIDs[i]);
CheckBox statuscb = (CheckBox)di.FindControl("chkStatusID?" + RoleIDs[i]);
// Check if some account is selected than call the delete method.
if( cb !=null && cb.Checked )
{
Label lb = (Label)di.FindControl("hdnObjectID");
RolesData RolesDataObj = new RolesData();
RolesDataObj.Role_ID = int.Parse(RoleIDs[i]);
RolesDataObj.Object_ID = lb.Text.ToString();
RolesDataObj.Admin_Level = (int)Session["AdminLevel"];
RolesDataObj.ParentID = (int)Session["RoleID"];
RolesDataObj.Status_ID = 0;
if (statuscb !=null && statuscb.Checked)
{
RolesDataObj.Status_ID = 1;
}
RoleObj.GrantRight(RolesDataObj);
}
else
{
Label lb = (Label)di.FindControl("hdnObjectID");
RolesData RolesDataObj = new RolesData();
RolesDataObj.Role_ID = int.Parse(RoleIDs[i]);
RolesDataObj.Object_ID = lb.Text.ToString();
RolesDataObj.Admin_Level = (int)Session["AdminLevel"];
RolesDataObj.ParentID = (int)Session["RoleID"];
RoleObj.RevokeRight(RolesDataObj);
}// End of IF condition.
}
}// END of FOREACH loop.

Any help or any source code doing the same type of stuff will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
