Unable to find checkbox control in Gridview

[sandeepsangshetty]

Hi Friends,

I'm unable find check box control in my webpage.
When building the page I'm getting "checkbox null" and "false".
Can any help me to find the solution.

I'm pasting the code here.

On line 43 in the above post code for the _BigCart.ascx.c s file you have are using the FindControl on Cell[0]. Instead of using the FindControl method on Cell[0], use it on the GridViewRow:

CheckBox checkBoxDelete = (CheckBox)gvRow.FindControl("checkBoxDelete");

In the future please post your code in code tags. It makes it easier for us to read your code and it provides us with line numbers that we can refer back to when helping you.

Also, please don't post Everything...ju st post the code that is relevant to the question (like the GridView markup for the column containing the CheckBox...and the function where you are having problems retrieving it in your C# code). It just makes it easier for us to help you if we don't have to scan through everything to find the line that's causing the problem (at least you were kind enough to point out the line using comments..thank s!)
