[Solved] get value of bound cell thats a boolean

[scott]

I posted earlier about the conditional change of colors for rows but specifically the issue is the values are coming up as a html space.

The value of the data-bound cells are Boolean so how do i get the value on databind when they are essentially now checkboxes?

really stuck here, any help would be appreciated.

If (TypeOf (e.Item) Is GridDataItem) Then
                'Get the instance of the right type
                Dim dataBoundItem As GridDataItem = e.Item
'how do i get the value of the Boolean databound column???
'this does not work - it only produces a string of " "
if dataBoundItem("Ready").Text = x then
end if

End If

UPDATE: figured it out. for those looking for a solution. 

If (TypeOf (e.Item) Is GridDataItem) Then
                'Get the instance of the right type
                Dim dataBoundItem As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
                Dim cbPause As CheckBox = dataBoundItem("Pause").Controls.Item(0)
'get val of check box

end if

Hello Scott,

There are several possible ways to get the value. I answered to your question in your older thread.
