Question : How to reference the "checked" value of a checkbox in a GridView template field

In my GridView control, I have a template field that contains a checkbox. My user can check and/or uncheck the checkbox and then click a buttonfield on the same row to fire the GridView's RowCommand event procedure.

In my event procedure, I need to pass off the "checked" value of the checkbox in the selected row but can't figure out how to do that. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Protected Sub gvSubscriptionsAvailable_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles gvSubscriptionsAvailable.RowCommand
	With Me
		Dim blnAutoRenew As Boolean

		If e.CommandName = "Select" Then
			For i = 0 To Me.lstModuleSelect.Items.Count - 1
				If .lstModuleSelect.Items(i).Selected Then
					blnAutoRenew = .gvSubscriptionsAvailable.SelectedRow... 
				End If
			Next
		End If
	End With
End Sub

Answer : How to reference the "checked" value of a checkbox in a GridView template field

since you are having your button command="Select" you can use SelectedIndexChanged event instead like below:

Protected Sub gvSubscriptionsAvailable_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim blnAutoRenew As Boolean
Dim chb As CheckBox = DirectCast(gvSubscriptionsAvailable.SelectedRow.FindControl("chkAutoRenew"), CheckBox)
If chb IsNot Nothing Then
blnAutoRenew = chb.Checked
End If
End Sub

The main idea is to get the row and findControl for the checkbox.
