Hi c_v_nag,

Thank you for sharing your solution with the community.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

I was looking for a mechanism where i dont need to parse the rows repeatedly. otherwise that is the use  of client binding.

Besides using set_value() results in a checkbox click event getting fired - which is not desirable.

so found a mid level solution: Before i set the datasourse and do databind, i do the following: 

var rws = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < gridData.Rows.length; i++) {
var rowElem = GetRowFromData(gridData.Rows, i);
rowElem.Multi = false;
var row = rws.push(rowElem);
}

//Multi is the column name for the unbound checkbox column

Hello c_v_nag,

I'm just checking if you have resolved your issue.
