Hi, I have a GridView bound to a DataTable, and I want to bind a CheckBoxColumn of my GridView to an Integer DataColumn of my DataTable. So the checked CheckBox corresponds with '2' in the Integer DataColumn, and the unchecked CheckBox corresponds with '1' in the Integer DataColumn. Is there something like parse and format events for this binding? Thanks.

Hi Zensell,
Presently, RadGridView doesn't offer this capability. We have already considered this feature and we we plan to provide a new conversion layer which will allow custom formatting and parsing. You can read more about that in this blog post: Flexible data conversion with RadGridView for WinForms vNEXT.
In the meantime, I would recommend using typed DataSets as your data source. You can create a typed data set and then modify the desired property to be of bool type instead of integer. Hence, you can parse true to integer value internally.
Let us know if you have further questions.
All the best,
