logi: Couple of ways to do this I suppose, but check out the technique at thread855-600329 and see if that solution might give you a bit of insight - I'm sure they'll be other suggestions, just a thought.

not really. i need to check the checkbox when the user clicks the edit link that is bound to the data grid.

Is your checkbox sitting inside of the <EditItemTemplate> and you need to check/uncheck it when switching the grid to edit mode?

<EditItemTemplate>
  <asp:CheckBox ID="editCheck" runat=server />
</EditItemTemplate>

private void myGrid_Edit(object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
  CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)e.Item.FindControl("editCheck");
  if(<condition is met>)
  {
    chk.Checked = true;
  }
}
