Datagrid check box property

[ami7]

hi,

Is there anyway to change the checked value to YES/No instead of true or false on a Datagrid Control.

When i populate my grid it displays the value for a cheked field to True/false.
i want that to be changed to YES/NO

pls help.

Rgds,
ami

no, it's a boolean property, which is true/false.

the only way around this would be to write a custom control and override the .checked property to return a string value of yes/no, where you'd be checking the true/false under the covers, and just returning the yes/no value based on that.

Can you provide me with an example for the same.

Thanks.

you could also just hide the column that has the boolean value, add a template column next to it that is visible, and then just have a bit of code that rips through the grid, checks the value of the hidden column, and displays "Yes/No" in the template column.

I do a similar thing in a datagrid that I have checkboxes in, so that if they aren't editing the data a graphic with a check is shown instead.
