Get checked elements in a repeater

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
I have a Repeater control on an aspx page which contains a checkbox and a data item within the ItemTemplate.
Underneath there is a link button whose click event I would like to loop through the repeater and find the checked checkboxes.
First problem is that looping through the repeater shows all the checkboxes as unchecked, even though Ive just checked them
Second problem is, how do I get at the value of the dataitem, within the same loop so that I can store it in a list<string>?
The sql datasource simple returns a list of country names.
