[RESOLVED] Adding a checkbox column to datagrid

[drpcken]

I have a datagrid I've coded and I need to add a checkbox to each row that is pulled from the sql table. The checkbox doesn't have to have a value assigned, I just need to use it to determine if the row is checked or not for a loop i have to run.

here's my datagrid code so far, notice I've already setup the column header for the checkbox i just haven't figured out how to draw a checkbox for each row.

Public Sub CreateGrid()
 
        'Declare new grid
        Dim dgLetters As New DataGrid
        dgLetters.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(2)
        dgLetters.CellPadding = 10
        dgLetters.GridLines = GridLines.Both
        dgLetters.BorderColor = Color.Blue
        dgLetters.ShowHeader = True
        dgLetters.AutoGenerateColumns = False
        dgLetters.HeaderStyle.BackColor = Color.Blue
        dgLetters.HeaderStyle.ForeColor = Color.White
        dgLetters.Font.Name = "Arial"
        
        'Add bound Columns
        'column for checkbox
        Dim datagridcol_Checkbox As New BoundColumn
        datagridcol_Checkbox.HeaderText = "Check To Print"
        dgLetters.Columns.Add(datagridcol_Checkbox)
 
        Dim datagridcol_letter As New BoundColumn
        datagridcol_letter.HeaderText = "Letter Name"
        datagridcol_letter.DataField = "letter_name"
        dgLetters.Columns.Add(datagridcol_letter)
 
        Dim datagridcol_desc As New BoundColumn
        datagridcol_desc.HeaderText = "Description"
        datagridcol_desc.DataField = "letter_description"
        dgLetters.Columns.Add(datagridcol_desc)
 
        'Bind Data
        dgLetters.DataSource = GetDataSet()
        dgLetters.DataBind()
 
        'Add datagrid to page
        Page.Controls(1).Controls.Add(dgLetters)
    End Sub

Whats going to happen is if an item is checked, it will loop through the grid when a button i place is check and add values to parameters in a stored procedure.

Thanks!

Ok nevermind that I got it, now I need to grab the value of a specific cell of which ever line of the grid is selected...

I've tried everything but it keeps erroring out on me. I'm writing my code in my DataGrid_SelectedIndexChanged sub.

Got it on my own.

Dim eventID as Integer = DataGrid1.SelectedIndex.Cells(3).Text
