How to create an event for a GridView CheckBox TemplateField

I have a number of TemplateFields created as CheckBoxes in a Gridview and need to create an event so that when any one of them is clicked it fires an event.

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="SD" SortExpression="site_down">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="chkSD" runat="server" 
                            Checked='<%# Bind("site_down") %>' />
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="chkSD" runat="server" Checked='<%# Bind("site_down") %>' 
                            Enabled="<%# true %>" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    
                </asp:TemplateField>

Thanks for that. I have given them command names and do use them for other purposes. Simply my problem is (and I am running short of time) that when I click on one of these boxes I need it to fire an event that I can trap. For example when I click on the CheckBox where the ID is "chkSD" (as above) I want to trigger an event. I suspect there is also the issue of 'PostBack' here as well?

I have no objection but I am just surprised that for a second time in a row I have asked a question, then responded to a request for further information and then heard absolutely nothing. I am questioning the value of being a premium member.
