get value of Checkbox in datagrid

Question

I am working with windows application. I have a datagrid in vb.net. Its first column is a checkbox. I want to know which checkboxes are checked and which are not.
My code is :

         Dim dr As DataGridViewRow
            For i = 0 To gdStudInfo.RowCount - 1
                dr = gdStudInfo.Rows(i)
                att = dr.Cells(0).Value.ToString()
                If att.Equals("Present") Then
                    qry = "insert into Stu_Att_Detail values(" & id & "," & gdStudInfo.Rows(i).Cells(1).Value.ToString() & ",'" & dr.Cells(0).Value.ToString() & "')"
                    con.MyQuery(qry)
                End If
            Next  

I am getting correct values for all checked check box, but it gets error when the checkbox is not checked.

What if you try this?

If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(dr.Cells(0).Value) Then
   'do stuff here
End If
