CheckBox checked state is not preserved

I have an unbound checkbox that I am programmatically adding to a GridView.

When I use the Pager control to go to a new page, the checkbox state is not preserved.

I need the checked condtion to be preserved across postbacks and when the PageIndex for the GridView changes.

I would also like to put a "check all" checkbox in the Header, but I don't know how to do that.


I'll post my source code and markup.
