check if checkbox is checked

[bewise]

Im looping throug a database, for each entry I am creating a checkbox, where its ID = checkbox.ID = "check" + AlertID.ToString(); where AlertId is the PK of the database.

Is there any way of me checking in the page_load event if the checked value of the checkbox is true or false?

Is there any reason you are not using a repeater rather than creating a whole gaggle of checkboxes? Using normal web controls would make this operation alot easier.

I think uve got a point, the only reason that I didnt consider using a reapeater was because I am outputting the checkboxes into a column in a table.

Ive tried the following as an example, but i dont think ive got it quite right yet. I dont get any values for ch.ID in the

CheckBox cbx = (CheckBox)ch.FindControl(ch.ID);

line of code. Any ideas? Am I on the right lines?

Repeater repeater = new Repeater();
ArrayList details = new ArrayList();
details.Add("2");

        repeater.DataSource = details;
        repeater.DataBind();

        foreach (RepeaterItem ch in repeater.Items)
        {
            CheckBox cbx = (CheckBox)ch.FindControl(ch.ID);
            if (cbx.Checked)
            {

            }
        }

There is no reason you cannot wrap whatever item you are using in the repeater in a table cell, or a table row, or whatever. It is very, very free-form.

Looking at your other code, you will actually need to search within the table cell you are creating server-side to find the checkbox. I would just start re-engineering now.
