make sure that you do NOT make datalist.databind before you check if some checkbox is checked. if in the pageload you do this private pageLoad() { bindDataList(); } private void some_method() { are my checkboxes checked here you check the check boxes } you will allways receive false; but if you do this private pageload() { if(!page.isPostBack) bindDataList(); } it will solve your problem. i guess this helps
