Check all checkboxes not from column header

[pjbuckley]

Ok. I obviously need to show you the code i am working on. It is one piece of a much larger app that ive built entirely using Notepad++ as my editor. Its a bit messy cause i have a few things im working but you may see some of the resent datasource bindings code-bits that you helped me with before.

It is in this 'function' that i need to apply the Select All checkbox functionality to.

Stop and think about this. We set the state of a columns checkbox in the data and not in the column. Just add a Boolean to the data that is the checkbox column and its value will determine the state of th checkbox.

Please review the code posted. It clearly shows how to do this without a lot of functions and other code. It does exactly what you are trying to do. Once you understand how a grid binds to a table with a DataTable and ho9w it takes only few lines of code to do this then you will be able to deign your form. Without a good sense of how forms and databinding work especially with the gridview you will be throwing darts in the ark.

Ah. I have been trying to affect the column or cell rather than the data itself. That makes sense now why i couldnt find a method or property to change it.

I will try it from that perspective next.

Thank you!
