With a GridView control in .NET is there any way to change the Select option in a GridView to a Checkbox, how do you select multiple rows?
I tried adding a CheckBoxField into my GridView but when I ran it it didn't show up.

Adding checkbox to Gridview is as simple as adding TemplateField of any control.
I tried adding a CheckBoxField into my gridview but when I ran it it didn't show up.
There should be other columns binding data to the grid. Also, check visible property of checkbox.

I think the problem is that the check box is not bound to any data column, I simply want someone to be able to select multiple items in the list but until they actually press 'go' I don't need any postback events etc. I did originally chekc the visibiltiy property but the default is visible but came to the conclusion above.

I tried to add a template field, and a check box but it is still not showing up in each row. I have followed the tutorial, but of course they didn't show the markup so I cannot see what I am doing wrong!

A:
I always just add a column to the DataTable that I am binding to.
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Include", typeof(Boolean)));
Or in my SQL I will have:
declare @include bit
set @include = 0
select
@include Include,
....

I did work it out in the end, thanks to ExpertSoul for the headsup on the tutorial. This was all I needed in the markup and it worked great:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="PublicationSelector" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
The other thing that the tutorial had which was great was an onclick event so that you could pick up the id # when the submit button was clicked, which was the next bit...
Great stuff.
