How to allow only one checked in the gridview , If the user check one of the check boxes ,i want to uncheck the rest automatically .?

Answer 1

How about using a radio button instead? Only one radio button within the same Group are allowed to be selected.

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Short Day">
   <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:RadioButton id="rbt_short_day" GroupName="shortDay"/>
   </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
