Webpage app I'm trying to develop

[Paul]

Hi, I'm pretty new to ASP.NET so not even sure how to do this correctly.

On a webpage I want to display a table with rows of data from a database
table (that bit I can do using datagrids etc).

However against each row of data I want a column with a checkbox. The user
can check off each data row they want, and when they click aSUBMIT button at
the bottom of the screen it will read the contents of the checkbox and write
back to the databas table.

Is there a way to add a checkbox to each row of the datagrid?

I'm thinking alternitivitly I can programmatically build the HTML table and
then I can do pretty much what I want, but I would prefer to use the
datagrid if I can.

Any hints would be appreciated
Paul

Paul, look into using Andy Smith's free BoundBooleanColumn DataGrid
column class.

Happy Programming!

How do I retrieve the value from the MetaBuilder BoundBooleanColumn

I love the stuff from Metabuilder, and I am trying to use the BoundBooleanColumn, but I have run into an odd problem. I can't retrieve information from the column.

When I try to do something like the following:

html...
<mbbbc:BoundBooleanColumn SelectionMode="CheckBox" DataField="BooleanValue" HeaderText="Tax" AllowNull="false" NullDefault="false" DataNullString="" />

CodeBehind...
dim mBool as boolean
mBool = CType(e.Item.Cells(3).Controls(0), CheckBox).Checked

I get an error that says the there is an invalid cast exception.

How do I retrieve the value of the checkbox?

Thanks,

Ken
