specify a datakeyfield in your datalist like

 

<asp:datalist datakeyfield="productid" ...

 

then in your itemcommand

 

intProductID = DataList.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex)

Something like this..

 

Private Sub Button1_Click(s as object, e as event args) handles Button1.Click
  Dim item As DataGridItem
  Dim mycheckbox as checkbox
  Dim intID As Integer
  For each item in Datagrid1.Items
     mycheckbox = item.findcontrol("CheckBox1")
     intID = DataGrid1.Datakeys(item.itemindex)
     If mycheckbox.checked then
        ..your code
     end if
  Next
End Sub
