      //get the no of rows<tr> generated by the gridview
        var gridRowsCount = gridViewElem.rows.length;
        //the controls in the gridview will have the following suffix in their ids 'GridView1_ctl0n'
  
      //the first element starts with 2 e.g. GridView1_ctl02_chkEmployee(first element)... GridView1_ctl10_chkEmployee(9th element)
  
      for (i = 2; i <= gridRowsCount; i++) {
       var ctlIndex = eval(i);
        if (ctlIndex < 10)
        ctlIndex = '0' + i;

Hello, just to make sure .. you have WinForms Project or Web-vased?

first add a check box column to the datagridview.
to do this click on the datagridview control on ur form.
click on the right arrow on the top of ur datagrid.
click edit columns
add a column and set its type to check box column

private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {
            
            if (e.ColumnIndex == //column index of check box column)
            {
                if (Convert.ToBoolean(dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value) == true)
                {
                    dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value = false;
                        }
                
                else
                {
                    dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value = true;
