Domething like this...

Dim item As DataListItem
Dim myCheckBox As CheckBox
For Each item In DataList1.Items
If (CType(item.FindControl("chkMyCheckBox"),
CheckBox).Checked)
'Do some work
End If
Next item

Hey vannela, r u changing the name of datalist from MyDataList to that of your own data-list name..??
And in FindControl() method too, pass your own ckeck-box name...
