PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Sometimes it is a requirement to show and edit boolean values as text. This can be achieved quite easily using GridTemplateColumn. In its item template you can insert a Label control with Text property set to '<%# (bool)Eval("Discontinued")? "Y": "N" %>'. In the edit template place a TextBox control with the same Text property.
Thus "Y"/"N" value will be shown depending on the boolean value. In order to convert the "Y"/"N" value to boolean wire the UpdateCommand event pass the edited value to the data source control.
A similar approach is used for Inserting, using
Setting predefined values for different column editors.
