issue createing a checkbox column

[Gina]

I am trying to create a checkbox column from a string field that comes back from my stored procedure which returns a 1 or 0 however it does not seem to be working... can someone shed some light as to what i might be doing wrong ?

 

<telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn DataField="Monday"

 

 

HeaderText="Monday"

 

 

AllowSorting="true"

 

 

UniqueName="Monday" DataType="System.Boolean">

 

 

</telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn>

the field name from the table is called 'Monday'

thank you for any help you can give

Hi Daniel,
the below did work however its not editable? Can you tell me how I can make this editable?

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Enabled="false" Checked='<%# Eval("myValue").ToString() == "1" %>' />

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 
I added the <EditItemTemplate> to make the column editable however it does not seem to work ?

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Monday">
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBox ID="ckEdit" runat="server" Enabled="false" Checked='<%# Eval("Monday").ToString() == "1" %>' />
    </EditItemTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Enabled="false" Checked='<%# Eval("Monday").ToString() == "1" %>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hello Gina,

When you have template column in the grid make sure that you specify the field to which you bind the control inside the template column as key for the dictionary object (passed to the InsertItem(newValues) method). For example:
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Check/Uncheck" UniqueName="BoolColumn">  
   <EditItemTemplate> 
     <asp:CheckBox ID="chkBoxEdit" runat="server" Checked='<%# Bind("Bool") %>' /> 
   </EditItemTemplate> 
   <ItemTemplate> 
     <asp:CheckBox ID="chkBoxDefault" runat="server" Checked='<%# Eval("Bool") %>' /> 
   </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
