[Solved] Checkbox type column issue in Q3, 2009

[Alfa]

Hi,

I have GridViewDataColumn column, which I convert into Checkbox Type by setting DataType to typeof(System.Boolean).

In Q2 2009 release I was binding it to string type of "True" and "False" and it was working fine but when I upgraded to Q3 2009, it broke.

I am getting "...casting issue.."

What do I have to do to make it work?

I cannot change datatype, since it is coming for other source.

Since my grid is runtime generated,  I cannot implement column Template and Converter.

Hi Alfa,

I would have advised you to use a converter. What is stopping you from using a converter? There should be not problem to apply a converter event if your grid is generated at runtime?

I don't think GridView is runtime generated in the example.

Hello,

Converters can be added to column DataMemberBinding no matter if the column is generate runtime or statically declared.
