[Ken]

I have the following code and I always get invalid cast when going into insert.. how can I set in ititial value for a checkbox

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Is Active" UniqueName="Is_Active">
   <EditItemTemplate>
       <asp:CheckBox id="cbIsActive" runat="server"  Checked='<%# Bind("Is_Active") %>' ></asp:CheckBox>
   </EditItemTemplate>
   <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
   <ItemTemplate> 
      <asp:Label ID="lbIsActive" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Is_Active", "{0}") %>' /> 
   </ItemTemplate> 
 </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
  

and

  

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

   {

      if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)

      {

         e.Canceled = true;

         System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary newValues = new System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary();

          newValues["Is_Active"] = false;

          e.Item.OwnerTableView.InsertItem();

      }

    }

Hello,


You could access the CheckBox control in ItemDataBound event (using FindControl method) of grid and set the initial state for the control.
Distinguish edit/insert mode on ItemCreated/ItemDataBound
findcontrol control in insert mode
