I am using Infragistics webgrid control (an extremly good control btw) for displaying data, and I am now trying to add a checkbox column. I have found a Knowledgebase article that explains how this is done:

UltraWebGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns.Add("Unbound")
UltraWebGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("Unbound").DataType = System.Type.GetType("Boolean")
UltraWebGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("Unbound").Type = Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.ColumnType.CheckBox


Extremy logically... but it has errors


1) Since I use Option Strict = On, I get error on Columns.Add("Unbound") saying a string can't be converted to integer. How do I handle this????



2)UltraWebGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("Unbound").DataType = System.Type.GetType("Boolean")

Here I get runtime error saying that "Input string was not in a correct format."

On the left it expects a string, but on the right I am getting a "Type" - datatype. I tried the toString() but still got the same message....

How do I handle these problems? I find it remarkable that they write this code in Knowledge base articles...
