For Visual Basic:
<asp:CheckBox Runat="server" ID="checkbox1"
Checked='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "myField") %>' >
</asp:CheckBox>

I suggest using "Checkbox1" and not "Checkbox" for the ID, as Checkbox
can cause confusion between the type and the instance.

I checked and it's exactly the same in c#.
Did you replace "myField" with the actual name of your field,
for instance "Activ"?

What is your error message?
