that worked for me after clearing selection  BeginEdit and change the girdview rows and end the Edit Mode   if  dgvDetails RowCount  gt  0                                                dgvDetails ClearSelection                             dgvDetails BeginEdit true                                                   foreach  DataGridViewRow dgvr in dgvDetails Rows                                                        dgvr Cells  quot cellName quot   Value   true                                                    dgvDetails EndEdit

you can try this code   DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk    DataGridViewCheckBoxCell dataGridView1 CurrentRow Cells 0                   dataGridView1 BeginEdit true                   if  chk Value    null     int chk Value    0                                        chk Value   1                                    else                                       chk Value   0                                    dataGridView1 EndEdit

While all the other answers are correct  I ll add another simple option which worked for me   var r   dataGridView Rows rIndex   var c   r Cells cIndex   var value    bool  c Value   c Value    value    Compressed   var r   dataGridView Rows rIndex   r Cells cIndex  Value      bool  r Cells cIndex  Value    As long as cIndex refers to a cell that is of type DataGridViewCheckBoxCell  this will work fine  Hope this helps somone

Simple code for you it will work  private void dgv CellClick object sender  DataGridViewCellEventArgs e        if  dgv CurrentRow Cells  ColumnNumber   Value    null  amp  amp   bool dgv CurrentRow Cells  ColumnNumber   Value                dgv CurrentRow Cells  ColumnNumber   Value   false          dgv CurrentRow Cells  ColumnNumber   Value   null            else if  dgv CurrentRow Cells  ColumnNumber   Value    null                 dgv CurrentRow Cells  ColumnNumber   Value   true

I use the CellMouseUp event  I check for the proper column  if  e ColumnIndex    datagridview Columns  columncheckbox   Index    I set the actual cell to a DataGridViewCheckBoxCell  dgvChkBxCell   datagridview Rows e RowIndex  Cells e ColumnIndex  as DataGridViewCheckBoxCell    Then check to see if it s checked using EditingCellFormattedValue  if   bool dgvChkBxCell EditingCellFormattedValue        You will have to check for keyboard entry using the KeyUp event and check the  value property and also check that the CurrentCell s column index matches the checkbox column  The method does not provide e RowIndex or e ColumnIndex

The code bellow allows the user to un- check the checkboxes in the DataGridView  if the Cells are created in code  private void gvData CellClick object sender  DataGridViewCellEventArgs e        DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk    DataGridViewCheckBoxCell gvData Rows e RowIndex  Cells 0        if  chk Value    chk TrueValue                gvData Rows e RowIndex  Cells 0  Value   chk FalseValue            else               gvData Rows e RowIndex  Cells 0  Value   chk TrueValue

The code you are trying here will flip the states  if true then became false vice versa  of the checkboxes irrespective of the user selected checkbox because here the foreach is selecting each checkbox and performing the operations   To make it clear  store the index of the user selected checkbox before performing the foreach operation and after the foreach operation call the checkbox by mentioning the stored index and check it  In your case  make it True -- I think    This is just logic and I am damn sure it is correct  I will try to implement some sample code if possible   Modify your foreach something like this         Store the index of the selected checkbox here as Integer  you can use e RowIndex or e ColumnIndex for it       private void chkItems CheckedChanged object sender  EventArgs e                foreach  DataGridViewRow row in datagridview1 Rows                        DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk    DataGridViewCheckBoxCell row Cells 1               if  chk Selected    true                                chk Selected   false                            else                               chk Selected   true                                      write the function for checking making true  the user selected checkbox by calling the stored Index   The above function makes all the checkboxes true including the user selected CheckBox  I think this is what you want

Looking at this MSDN Forum Posting it suggests comparing the Cell s value with  Cell TrueValue   So going by its example your code should looks something like this  this is completely untested   Edit  it seems that the Default for Cell TrueValue for an Unbound DataGridViewCheckBox is null you will need to set it in the Column definition   private void chkItems CheckedChanged object sender  EventArgs e        foreach  DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1 Rows                DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk    DataGridViewCheckBoxCell row Cells 1           if  chk Value     chk TrueValue                        chk Value   chk FalseValue                    else                       chk Value   chk TrueValue                        This code is working note setting the TrueValue and FalseValue in the Constructor plus also checking for null   public partial class Form1   Form       public Form1                 InitializeComponent            DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn CheckboxColumn   new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn            CheckboxColumn TrueValue   true          CheckboxColumn FalseValue   false          CheckboxColumn Width   100          dataGridView1 Columns Add CheckboxColumn           dataGridView1 Rows Add 4              private void chkItems CheckedChanged object sender  EventArgs e                foreach  DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1 Rows                        DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk    DataGridViewCheckBoxCell row Cells 0               if  chk Value    chk FalseValue    chk Value    null                                chk Value   chk TrueValue                            else                               chk Value   chk FalseValue                                   dataGridView1 EndEdit

Here is another example you can try  private void dataGridView CellContentClick object sender  DataGridViewCellEventArgs e                if  e ColumnIndex    dataGridView Columns  Select   Index                        dataGridView EndEdit                 if   bool dataGridView Rows e RowIndex  Cells  Select   Value                                  -- checking current select  needs to uncheck any other cells that are checked                 foreach DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView Rows                                        if  row Index    e RowIndex                                                dataGridView Rows row Index  SetValues true                                             else                                               dataGridView Rows row Index  SetValues false

I had the same problem  and even with the solutions provided here it did not work  The checkboxes would simply not change  their Value would remain null  It took me ages to realize my dumbness    Turns out  I called the form1 PopulateDataGridView my data  on the Form derived class Form1 before I called form1 Show    When I changed up the order  that is to call Show   first  and then read the data and fill in the checkboxes  the value did not stay null

You can use this code on your grid CellClick event for check or unchecked cell checkbox    private void Grid CellClick object sender  DataGridViewCellEventArgs e                if  e ColumnIndex    0                        Grid Rows e RowIndex  Cells e ColumnIndex  Value    Grid Rows e RowIndex  Cells e ColumnIndex  Value    null   true      bool Grid Rows e RowIndex  Cells e ColumnIndex  Value
