Another solution is handling ItemDataBound event:

<asp:Repeater ID="rpt" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="rpt_ItemDataBound">
    <itemTemplate> 
       <asp:CheckBox runat="server" CssClass="checkbox" ID="isDefaultCheckBox"/>
    </itemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

...

protected void rpt_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    RepeaterItem ri = e.Item;
    var dataItem = ri.DataItem as YourClassOrInterface;
    var isDefaultCheckBox = ri.FindControl("isDefaultCheckBox") as CheckBox;
    isDefaultCheckBox.Checked = dataItem.IsDefault;
}

Old question, but I solved this in my application using something much simpler:

<asp:CheckBox ID="chkIncludePdf" runat="server" Checked='<%# Eval("DefaultInclude").ToString() == "True" %>' />

Answer 3

I'm fairly sure that it should work this way:

Checked='<%# Bind("IsDefault") %>'

By the way, there's a missing < in your first approach:

Checked="%#Eval...

Edit: _{(since you've also edited your question and corrected it)}

Now there's something else wrong, you've two consecutive quotes here:

Checked="<%#Eval("

Answer 4

The problem with the code is actually the fact that you are nesting double quotes

Checked="<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "IsDefault")%>"

should be

Checked='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "IsDefault")%>'
