Why not set it up in load event of the form?

 private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
      ValidateCheckValue();
 }

 private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
      ValidateCheckValue();
 }

 private void ValidateCheckValue()
 { 
       checkBox1.Text = (checkBox1.Checked ? "WhenChecked" : "WhenNotChecked");  
 }

>TIA.
