Here, we are using a **groupBox** container that add **checkbox** controls in a form. Code is same as below:

```
        CheckBox check = new CheckBox();                    check.AutoSize = false;                    check.Text = "This is check box";                    check.AutoSize = true;                    check.Location = new Point(50, 50);                    groupBox1.Controls.Add(check);
```

\
Here, we are code for checking **checkbox** status ,it is checked or unchecked :

```
        if ((check).Checked)                     {                      MessageBox.Show("checkbox is checked", "Test", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Question);                         // Here you can code as you wish                      }
```

or we also checked a status of check box by using check.CheckStatus property.\
