convert boolean to checkbox in Item_Bound event

[hazz]

ICollection CreateDataSourc e() {
dt.Columns.Add( new DataColumn("Rep ortInclude", typeof(Boolean) ));
for (int i=0; i<=10; i++) { dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[0] = 0;
dt.Rows.Add(dr) ; }

void Page_Load(Objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{ ItemsGrid.DataS ource = CreateDataSourc e();

void Item_Bound(Obje ct sender, DataGridItemEve ntArgs e)
{
// Use the ItemDataBound event to customize the DataGrid control.
// The ItemDataBound event allows you to access the data before
// the item is displayed in the control.

????? How do I convert the boolean value to a checkbox. I don't want
to see true/false, I want to see a checkbox, checked or not.

Thank you,

something like:

you might have to check for e.Item.ItemType to make sure it isn't a
header/footer...
CheckBox check = (CheckBox)
e.Item.FindCont rol("IdOfTheRun atServerCheckbo x");
check.Checked =
Convert.ToBoole an(((DataRowVie w)e.Item.DataIt em)["ReportIncl ude"]);

Thank you so much Karl.

One follow up question having to do with the design time structure of the
checkbox column for the.FindControl ("IdOfTheRunatS erverCheckbox") ; Where
does IdOfTheRunatSer verCheckbox go within the <asp:> </asp?> as listed here
from my aspx page?

<asp:DataGrid id="ItemsGrid" runat="server"
OnItemDataBound ="Item_Bound ">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#00a aaa"> </HeaderStyle>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#00a aaa"></FooterStyle>
</asp:DataGrid>

Thank you,
Greg

Sorry, I zoned out the entire datagrid thing :)

You'll need to turn off autogeneratecol umns and output it yourself:

<asp:DataGrid ID="grid" runat="Server" OnItemDataBound ="Item_Bound ">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateCo lumn>
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:CheckBox ID="myCheckbox " runat="Server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>

<Columns>
<asp:TemplateCo lumn>
<EditItemTempla te>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1"
Text="Taxable"
runat="server"/>
</EditItemTemplat e>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>
</Columns>

CheckBox check = (CheckBox)e.Ite m.FindControl(" CheckBox1") returns a null.

I kinda hinted at that first...but it wasn't clear, sorry..
If (e.Item.ItemTyp e == ListItemType.It em || e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.Al ternatingItem)
{
///do stuff
}

there won't be a "CheckBox1" when ItemType is Header or Footer or etc...
