Problem with Checkboxes in the DataGrid <Resolved>

[sinha]

Hi!
I am working on an Asp.net application with c# as the code behind. A newbie.

I have a datagrid, in which I am showing checkbox (bound to a column of my table).

My code is

<asp:CheckBox id="chkActive" enabled= "false" AutoPostBack="True" Runat="server" checked='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "status")  %>'>
</asp:CheckBox>

The datatype of the 'Status' field in the database is bit. ( I am using Sql Server 2000). It works perfectly fine.

But, due to some reason, when I change the datatype of the Status field to int, it doesn't work. How to implement checboxes in the grid, when the datatype is int.

Pls help.

Thanks.

Try this...

checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "status"))  %>'
