A small enhancement to @letiagoalves solution, if your checkboxes have specific processing associated with a click event. Not asked for by the OP, but something I've had to do in the past. Basically, instead of directly setting the checked property of each dependent checkbox, it compares the checked state of each dependent checkbox to the selectall checkbox, and triggers a click event on those that are in the opposite state.

$('#selectall').click(function () {
    var parentState = $(this).prop('checked');
    $('.selectedId').each(function() {
        if ($(this).prop('checked') !== parentState) {
            $(this).trigger("click");
        }
});
});
