You should not be setting the Text property at all. &nbsp;This property is used as a label to the check box. &nbsp;Link Venki said, you need to set the Checked property directly. &nbsp;I would set the Text property to something more descriptive because it is something that the user will see.

Simple checkBox question

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
