[Solved] CheckBox Syntax in Advanced Edit Form

[Joseph]

I'm getting a "Specified cast is not valid" error related to a checkbox on my Advanced Edit form in Scheduler.

The database field is a bit type.

Here is the code...

ASPX:

            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
                <tr>
                    <td><b>Title</b></td>
                    <td>&nbsp;</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="EventTitleTemp" Text='<%# Eval("EventTitle") %>' Width="240px"></asp:TextBox></td>
                    <td><div style="margin-bottom:3px;"><asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="EventActiveTemp" Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("EventActive")) %>' style="padding: 0em; margin: 0em; vertical-align: middle;"></asp:CheckBox> Active</div></td>
                </tr>
            </table>

Code Behind:

        [Bindable(BindableSupport.Yes, BindingDirection.TwoWay)]
        public bool EventActive
        {
            get
            {
                return EventActiveTemp.Checked;
            }

            set
            {
                EventActiveTemp.Checked = value;
            }
        }

Am I missing something? Doing this totally wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Joseph,

Please, see if the following google search result can help you:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Specified+cast+is+not+valid&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1

You may need to explicictly convert the bit values to type bool.

All the best,

I am having the same problem here. Does anybody have the answer? I went to that search link but came up empty. Please let me know...

Thank you so much!

Hello,

I have just replied to the support ticket that you have opened. I am attaching a custom control (BooleanAttributeControl) that is designed to work with Boolean values. The usage is the same as the CustomAttributeControl, but instead of a text box it renders a check box.

Hi,

I'm fairly new to using your controls (and .net for that matter) and ran across the noted issue with using a checkbox.  

Can you give the line of code to register the control on an aspx page and also the code to add the control to the page. This would help out a lot.

thanks in advance,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Could you please elaborate on your scenario and explain what exactly you need to implement? Note that the BooleanAttributeControl user control which Tsvetomir attached to this thread is intended to be used for the Scheduler's advanced template as in this example.
