Your question is not clear can you give more details .And where do you call FirstGridViewRow().In this method you do create column and row.i think this is wrong .Hope you need to create separate method to create column for datatable and then create separate method to add rows to data table.

Inside which Event, you want to do? Also post the GridView Markup.

Inside Button Click Event, you are getting the CheckBoxList as...

C#

CheckBoxList assignee = (CheckBoxList)grvStudentDetails.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[5].FindControl("chkAssignees");

Now get all the checked ones and store their item index separated by comma or something in one column like...

C#

foreach (ListItem item in assignee.Items)
{
  if (item.Selected)
    // Here store the item.Index or item.Value in a StringBuilder or array or something.
}

// Now store the whole <code>string </code>in a column like <code>col5 </code>or something.

Then while restoring the data, retrieve from that column and split the string to get the index or values and check the CheckBoxes matching with those.

Please get started on this. You will explore many things. :)
