However, i cannot make the checkbox to work, i.e. ifi click on it to check or uncheck it, then it does not activate at all.

The checkbox is added as follows in the dataTabke dt.

CheckBox chkbox = new CheckBox;
dr[4] = chkbox.visible = true;

where dr[4] is the fourth column of the row dr in dataTable dt.

Now, the problem is that it is showing the checkbox in the dataGridView1, whose source is DataTable dt, but i cannot get this checkbox to working, it doesnot do anything if i check or uncheck it, even when i add a checkbox event handler. This checkBox is to delete the relative row from the datagridview1, when selected.

Thanks for any help in advance.
