Question

After my grid loads I bind a click handler to a column that contains a checkbox.

$("#mygrid td input").each(function () {
 $(this).click(function () {
 });
});

Is there a slick way in this click handler to get pk/id of the record what corresponds to the row the checkbox is in, so I can make a call to the server with it?

You can use eventObject parameter of the jQuery.click event:

$("#mygrid td input").each(function () {
    $(this).click(function (e) {
        // e.target point to <input> DOM element
        var tr = $(e.target).closest('tr');
        alert ("Current rowid=" + tr[0].id);
    });
});

You should just find the with respect of jQuery.closest the <tr> (table row) element to which the clicked <input> element belong. The id of the <tr> element is the rowid which you used during filling the grid.
