data field - change true/false to Yes/No

Walter Wang [MSFT]

Hi Dave,

I've done some research and the best way I can think of is:

1) Create global resource for the Yes/No string; for example, add a global
resource named MyResource and add two resource string named "Yes", "No".

2) Handle the GridView's RowDataBound event and set the localized text via
code:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender,
GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Product p = e.Row.DataItem as Product;
if (p.Archived)
{
e.Row.Cells[0].Text = (string)
base.GetGlobalResourceObject("MyResource", "Yes");
}
else
{
e.Row.Cells[0].Text = (string)
base.GetGlobalResourceObject("MyResource", "No");
}
}
}


(here I'm binding the GridView to a list of Product objects.)
