Setting DataGrid Checkbox Control 1

[JGresko]

I have a checkbox in a datagrid and I want it to show checked for active records (denoted by a Y in the active column of my database). How do I get the Y to check the checkbox?

Thanks in advance,

Judy

check out faq855-2613

It is easily modified to return a boolean. In the conditions just specify to return true if the string is "Y" and False if anything else. The line for the datagrid column changes in that you use the checked property instead of the text one for a text box as is shown. Other than that it is the exact same concept. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Got it, Thanks !

I changed the datafield to hold "True" or "False"

<asp:CheckBox id=ckActive runat=&quot;server&quot; checked='<%# Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,&quot;Active&quot) %>'></asp:CheckBox>
