What's the trick to getting a checkbox value

[Rock]

The results of checkbox.checked always returns false even when it's true.
What am I missing or doing wrong or what's the secret???


<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Validated">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:checkbox id=chk1 runat="server" Checked='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Validated ") %>'>
</asp:checkbox>
</ItemTemplate>

<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox id=chk2 runat="server"></asp:CheckBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>


Dim chkSelected as checkbox
chkSelected = .FindControl("chk2")
if chkSelected is nothing then
else
if chkSelected.checked then
response.Write("True")
else
Response.Write("False")
end if
end if

Are you testing for postbacks in the page_load handler?

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
BindGrid()
End If
End Sub
