i got a user control that has a gridview with a checkbox in it.

 <cc1 agingGridView ID="gvDataNoBind" runat="server" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333"
            GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="true"
            OnPageIndexChanging="gvData_PageIndexChanging" OnRowDataBound="gvData_RowDataBound">
        <PagerStyle CssClass="Altlabel" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
        <HeaderStyle CssClass="subheader"/>
        <AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="Altlabel" />
        <RowStyle CssClass="GridviewRowStyle" />
        <AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="GridviewRowAlterStyle" />
        <PagerSettings Mode="NumericFirstLast" Position="bottom" />
        <Columns>
            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:CheckBox ID="chkData" runat="server" Enabled="true" />
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>
    </cc1 agingGridView>


i have this control on a webform. here is my issue, i have added a select all button and remove all button on the webform below the control above.
how could i access the checkbox above on the select all button event to make all values checked and likewise with remove all?


thank you so much for the help..

I did this in javascript once, it basically involved looping through each input control on the form and seeing if its name ended with 'chkData' (if I remember correctly then the control gets a name like 'gvDataNoBind$chkData$1' but you can just check the source code to verify this).
