CheckBoxes in DataGrid

[drakuu]

Hi guys,

I created DataGrid with few checkboxes. I want to bind the checkboxes
and check them if they match a string in a database. An if statement
would look something like this:
if (dataRowChb["AddressTypeCode"].ToString() == "u") checkbox1.checked
= true

Now how would I do it in datagrid using TemplateField:
<asp:TemplateField>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBoxU" runat="server" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBoxU" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("AddressTypeCode") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I'll have 5 checkboxes each for unique character (u, a, c...) and if
there exist AddressId with that AddressTypeCode the check box should be
checked.

Thanks,
draku

I think something like that might be what you're looking for:
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBoxU" runat="server" Text='<%#
Eval("AddressTypeCode") %>' Checked='<%# Eval("AddressTypeCode") == "u" #>'
/>
Hope this helps.

hello dra,

the best that you can do for complex expression evaludation is to
create a method to evaluate the expression and reutrn a bool value.

[yourpage.aspx.cs]
....
protected bool Evaluate(string value){
boo result = false;
//serries of IF os SWITCH statements
return result;
}
...

[yourpage.aspx]
...
<asp:CheckBox ID="" runat="server" Checked='<%#
Evaluate((Container.DataItem as
DataRowView["AddressTypeCode"].ToString() )%>'
/>
...
