I populate listview with checkbox that is populated from database like this........

<asp:ListView ID="List" runat="server" DataKeyNames="Id">
<LayoutTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceholder" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="ListCheckBoxField" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Description") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

.......
for (int i = 0; i < List.Items.Count; i++)
{
var item = List.Items[i];
var checkbox = item.FindControl("checkboxControl") as CheckBox;

if (checkbox != null && checkbox.Checked)
{
//NEED TO GET THE DATAKEY VALUE FOR THE TEXTBOX
}
}

Thanks but it is not updating is it inserting into table

So the listview control containing one checkbox is populated from database. The database table has ID, Description so this is how checkboxes are populated.

If a checkbox is checked I want to get the underlying Primary Key of the checkbox as it is populated from the database.

var item = List.Items[i];
var checkbox = item.FindControl("checkboxControl") as CheckBox;

if (checkbox != null && checkbox.Checked)
{

}
