Checkboxfield Storing 1 instead of -1 for True

[mike.aes]

(ASP.net 2.0)
I am using a Gridview control that is bound to a table in my SQL
database. For some reason, when the Checkbox is clicked, it stores a 1
(Positive 1) in the bound field instead of a -1 (Negative 1). Any
ideas what's going on?

because it's working properly .

0/1 = false/true

although any non-zero value can be used as true, the normal convention is to use 1

I thought it was -1.
Set a breakpoint in your VB.net code and type the following into a
command/immediate window:
? true= 1 (comes back with False)
? true= -1 (comes back with True)

No?
