Getting a reference of a checkbox 1

[RamHardikar]

Is there a way to get the reference of a checkbox which sits in the header column of the DataGrid in the code behind?

Have a look at the FindControl method to locate a checkbox within a DataGrid

i tried doing this, but it returns me nothing -

CheckBox cc;
cc = (CheckBox) DG.FindControl("chkAll");

Am I doing this wrong?

 

[RamHardikar]

how do i refer a header row in a DataGrid? if i am able to do that then maybe i can refer to my checkbox there this way -

c = (CheckBox) DG.Items[headerrowid].FindControl("chkAll");

Try using the ItemCreated or ItemDataBound events and use e.Item.FindControl

And to check if the row is a header row use something like:

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then

End If
