Chkbox Controls in a DataGrid Header

Question

Below I have ChkBoxes in a datagrid and it can pull the items out with the DataGridItem collection. But how do I get the value a check box in the HEADER of a data grid. I tried the DataGridColumns collection but not to much success. foreach (DataGridItem dataGridItem in dgProject.Items) { bool chkHello = ((CheckBox)dataGridItem.FindControl(chkHello)).Checked; bool chkBye = ((CheckBox)dataGridItem.FindControl(chkBye)).Checked; if (chkHello) {myArray.Add( new myArrayItem(dataGridItem.Cells{2].Text  Hello));} if (chkBye) {myArray.Add( new myArrayItem(dataGridItem.Cells{2].Text  Bye));}

Here is the solution - From Dino Esposito Programming Microsoft ASP.NET //Item Create of the Data grid public void ItemCreated(object sender DataGridItemEventArgs e) { switch(e.Item.ItemType) { case ListItemType.Header: SetupHeader(e); break; } } private void SetupHeader(DataGridItemEventArgs e) { //Add Checkboxes to the header TableCell cell = e.Item.Cells[12]; // 12 is the col num in grid chkHPM107 = new CheckBox(); cell.Controls.Add(chkHPM107); cell = null; }
