convert boolean to checkbox in Item_Bound event

[hazz]

ICollection CreateDataSource() {
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("ReportInclude", typeof(Boolean)));
for (int i=0; i<=10; i++) { dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[0] = 0;
dt.Rows.Add(dr); }

void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{ ItemsGrid.DataSource = CreateDataSource();

void Item_Bound(Object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
// Use the ItemDataBound event to customize the DataGrid control.
// The ItemDataBound event allows you to access the data before
// the item is displayed in the control.

????? How do I convert the boolean value to a checkbox. I don't want
to see true/false, I want to see a checkbox, checked or not.

Thank you,
-Greg

something like:

you might have to check for e.Item.ItemType to make sure it isn't a
header/footer...


CheckBox check = (CheckBox)
e.Item.FindControl("IdOfTheRunatServerCheckbox");
check.Checked =
Convert.ToBoolean(((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["ReportInclude"]);

Thank you so much Karl.

One follow up question having to do with the design time structure of the
checkbox column for the.FindControl("IdOfTheRunatServerCheckbox"); Where
does IdOfTheRunatServerCheckbox go within the <asp:> </asp?> as listed here
from my aspx page?

<aspataGrid id="ItemsGrid" runat="server"
OnItemDataBound="Item_Bound">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#00aaaa"> </HeaderStyle>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#00aaaa"></FooterStyle>
</aspataGrid>

Thank you,
Greg

Sorry, I zoned out the entire datagrid thing

You'll need to turn off autogeneratecolumns and output it yourself:

<aspataGrid ID="grid" runat="Server" OnItemDataBound="Item_Bound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="myCheckbox" runat="Server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</aspataGrid>

When I add the following to the gridview
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1"
Text="Taxable"
runat="server"/>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>

CheckBox check = (CheckBox)e.Item.FindControl("CheckBox1") returns a null.

Thank you so much Karl.

I kinda hinted at that first...but it wasn't clear, sorry..
If (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
///do stuff
}

there won't be a "CheckBox1" when ItemType is Header or Footer or etc...
