Message: [QUOTE="TJ, post: 4265702"] I have a datagrid that has a boolean column. The sql data is a bit stored as a 1 or 0. Doing a straight up DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MyColumn") displays a "True" or "False" in the grid. No problems here. What I want is for it to display a "Yes" or "No". So I'm using a TemplateColumn instead of a BoundColumn so I can pass the value into a function and return a string that says Yes or No. My problem is that the function won't take the value seemingly no matter how I cast or don't cast the argument when I send or in the receiving mechanism of the function. In the aspx page: <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Approved"> <ItemTemplate> <%# FormatYesOrNo(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MyBitColumn")) %> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateColumn> In the code behind: public string FormatYesOrNo(bool x) { string z = "Yes"; if (x != true) z = "No"; return z; } I tried casting the late bound info the aspx to a bool (e.g. (bool)DataBinder.Eval...), but that didn't work. I tried changing the FormatYesOrNo(bool x) in the code behind to FormatYesOrNo(string x) and changing the guts accordingly, but that didn't work. Any help appreciated. -TJ [/QUOTE]
