How do I load checkbox values into a datagridview checkbox column?

When I load data into the datagridview(LabelDataGrid) I am looking for an asterisk and if it has an asterisk I want the checkbox to be checked(true). I load the data into the datagridview by doing this:

VB

For x1 = 0 To ElCount
      LabelDataGrid.Rows.Add(False, x1, Array(x1, 0), Array(x1, 1), Array(x1, 2), Array(x1, 3), x1)
Next

What I have tried:

When I do this I know that the checkbox value is true because the row that the checkbox is in turns red but the checkbox isn't checked. How Do I fix this?

VB

For x1 = 0 To ElCount
     LabelDataGrid.Rows.Add(False, x1, Array(x1, 0), Array(x1, 1), Array(x1, 2), Array(x1, 3), x1)
      If Array(x1, 0).Contains("*") Then
         LabelDataGrid.Item(x1, 0).Value = True
         If LabelDataGrid.Item(x1, 0).Value = True Then
            LabelDataGrid.Rows(x1).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.IndianRed
         End If
      End If
Next

Edit: I figured out the solution, here it is for anyone that may be having the same problem:

VB

For x1 = 0 To ElCount
   If Array(x1, 0).Contains("*") Then
      LabelDataGrid.Rows.Add(True, x1, Array(x1, 0), Array(x1, 1), Array(x1, 2), Array(x1, 3), x1)
      LabelDataGrid.Rows(x1).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.IndianRed
   Else
      LabelDataGrid.Rows.Add(False, x1, Array(x1, 0), Array(x1, 1), Array(x1, 2), Array(x1, 3), x1)
   End If
Next
