I am using a TemplateDataField with a checkbox template defined for the first column of my grid.  The purpose is to allow the end user to select multiple rows and then use a dropdown and button to perform actions on the selected rows.  The rub is when I try to loop over the rows, I am not being able to find out the state of the checkbox for a given row.  Below is what I am trying to do:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

foreach (GridRecord row in this.WebDataGrid1.Rows) {

CheckBox cb = this.GetCheckBox(row.Items[0].Template);

}

}

However, the Template is NULL for each and every row.  I have doubled checked to make sure other "Items" don't contain the CheckBox template, and they are all NULL. 

How on the server side am I suppose to interact with the template for a given cell / item?
