from char/varchar to gridviewbooleancolumn

[Norman Giovanni]

hi,

Recently I downloaded trial version of your products, I think those are good components makes developing stage easier. My question is. Database doesn't support boolean datatypes, so, I use char(1) to represent 'Y', 'N' values, but I need this be displayed by gridviewcheckboxcolumn, how can I do to make it possible since gridviewcheckboxcolumn must be binded to a boolean column into datatable and no way to translate string column datatable into boolean column datatable? 



'Y' - On

'N' - Off



thanks

Hello Norman Giovanni,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can achieve the desired behavior using the new grid conversion layer. You will be able to find more about conversion layer features in this blog post. Also you can see Convert Values example under Manipulate Data in Telerik Demos (to start the demos please follow this path: Start Button >> All Programs >> Telerik >> RadControls for Winforms [version] >> Run Demos). It demonstrates exactly the scenario you are after.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Sincerely yours,
Svett
