Question

I’m trying to build a Listview EDIT/Insert template where I can use a checkbox to enable updating multiple database tables but to little success.. I managed to get the insert working by performing some foul sorcery on the Listview inserting event. But I’d prefer that it works with the Checkbox OnCheckedChanged event as it feels abit more kosher in my mind, and of course the added benefit on it working for the edittemplate..

    protected void checktest_clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //testlabel.Text = testcheck.Checked.ToString(); <-- exists outside of LW
        //                                                   so it works
        //Label hejha = (Label)lwRapport.FindControl("testlabel");
        CheckBox trial = (CheckBox)lwRapport.FindControl("upParameter");

        if(trial != null)
        {
            if(trial.Checked == true)
            { testlabel.Text = "finally"; }

            if(trial.Checked == false)
            { testlabel.Text = "Nope, not going to happen"; }
        }
        if (trial == null)
        { testlabel.Text = "not wanted"; }
    }

That’s my test snippet for checking how the FindControl works and so far I’ve been quite unsuccessful making it do what I want it to do..
Any Correction on faults / hack / workaround for this matter would be apritiated

EDIT1*
The checkbox is inside of the listview, more precisely in the inserttemplate. The template looks something on the lines like this:

    textbox  <bind"table1.element">
    textbox2 <bind"table1.element2">
    checkbox [_]
    textbox3 <bind"table2.element">

Observe that the snippet above is just a pseudocode snippet of my layout not the acctual layout. What I’m attempting is to find the checkbox and bind it’s checked value to a parameter which passes a couple of checks in the SPROC then executes the UPDATE command

You seem to be not able to find the check box control from the list view. This is because you are searching for the check box inside the list view, and what you should be doing is searching for it inside the selected item.
