CheckBox in a DataGrid

[Randy]

Hello,
I'm creating a table on the fly that is used by a datagrid. I'm also
creating a tableStyle that is used for the datagrid to make it look like I
want.
I'm using the DataGridBoolColumn to make one column a CheckBox field. It
shows up fine...as a CheckBox. I looped through the table and stored a true
or false in the checkbox column but it appears to have no effect on the
checkbox column. No matter what I store there (true/false), when I run the
app all the checkboxes are checked/greyed. I thought I could store a true or
false in this column of the table and it would either be checked or
unchecked in the CheckBox...but that doesn't seem to work. Am I going about
it wrong?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks

'Evaluate the data from the Grid item and set the Checked property

End If

Check this example. I'm assuming that you want a C# solution, given that
this is the C# newsgroup.

Thanks for the info idog...but I'm still kind of in the dark on this. I
can't really tell what you're doing here in this code...
