use update panel inside item template
i.e.
<updatepanel>
<contenttemplate>
<asp:checkbox width="10%" id="chkDocumentName" runat="server" oncheckedchanged="chkDocumentName_CheckedChanged" autopostback="true" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />
</contenttemplate>
</updatepanel>
if still not working
then use asynchronous postback trigger with this updatepanel
