Hosneylk:

When I do this                
               foreach(DataListItem item in DataList1.Items)
                {
                    CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1");
                    chkvalue = chkBox.checked;
                }

I get this error: Identifier expected ;checked' is a keyword

it should be Checked not checked

Well now I get a  different error:

                foreach(DataListItem item in DataList1.Items)
                {
                    CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1");
                    chkvalue = chkBox.Checked;
                }

Error: Cannot implicity convert type bool to string

by value of checkbox you must mean if its checked or not right?

if you want to get it as a string you can do

chkValue = chkBox.Checked.ToString();

or else you can change the datatype of chkValue to bool.

This means chkvalue was declared as string and not bool.  Try changing the declaration of chkvalue to

bool chkvalue;

Checked property returns boolean result (true or false)

With this change. I get no error but no value is passed neither. I even hard coded my value.

                foreach(DataListItem item in DataList1.Items)
                {
                    CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1");
                    chkValue = chkBox.Checked.ToString();
                }

Alfred1: With this addition bool chkvalue;

                bool chkvalue;
               foreach(DataListItem item in DataList1.Items)
                {
                    CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1");
                    chkValue = chkBox.Checked;
                }

I get the same error as above.

Please note that C# is case-sensitive.    chkValue is not the same as chkvalue.

Yes....I figured that one out. I still get the same error though

what's the error? what do you mean by value not passed? where are you passing/using this value?

I am trying to get the checkbox value from this DataList:


            <asp:DataList RepeatColumns="5" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="DataListSource">
            <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" value="75" />
            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Category") %>
            </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:DataList>

Your CheckBox control in there, it looks like there is no value property for CheckBox.  Check the following link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4s78d0k1%28v=VS.90%29.aspx

do you want to get the value of checkbox1 when it's checked? if so you could use CheckBox1.Attributes["value"] since there is no native value property for the checkbox control in asp.net

e.g.
if CheckB
chkvalue = CheckBox1.Attributes["value"].ToString();

Hosneylk...That worked.

Thank you both your help!!!
