Checkbox always returns true when it is unchecked

Question

I have nested Gridview and the last Gridview has Checkbox.

the condition in checking the Checkbox whether it is checked or unchecked

foreach (GridViewRow gvr in GridView1.Rows)
{
       GridView GridView2= gvr.FindControl("GridView2") as GridView;
       foreach (GridViewRow gvr2 in GridView2.Rows)
       {
           GridView GridView3= gvr2.FindControl("GridView3") as GridView;
           foreach (GridViewRow gvr3 in GridView3.Rows)
           {
               if(((CheckBox)gvr3.FindControl("chk1")).Checked)
               {
                    string txt = txtKeyboard.text;
               }
           }
       }
}

even though it is unchecked it will go though the condition

are you sure you are referencing the right gridrow and right checkbox? there is no reason why that wont work unless you are checking it in code somewhere else before this loop gets executed or you are referencing the wrong checkbox. — Ahmed ilyas

if(((CheckBox)gvr3.FindControl("chk1")).Checked)
{
     string txt = txtKeyboard.text;
}

instead of above code just try once

  CheckBox chk1 = gvr3.Cells[0].Controls[0] as CheckBox;
  if(chk1.checked==true)
  {
      string txt = txtKeyboard.text;
  }

here you need to set cell value and control value inplace of 0

@Registered_User012345 i clearey mentioned here that you need to set value of cells(order of checkbox from starting of Gridview3) and control in place of 0

Sorry I double check the control placement and corrected it. The code also returning true even though the checkboxs are unchecked

How you bind data to "GridView2" control? if you called some methods like "GridView2_DataBind" , after postback data has be processed, the state of girdview will be reset.

for example,

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
          if (!this.IsPostBack){ 
              GridView2_DataBind() // you shouldn't call databind method when postback
          }
 }
