I have a datagrid with one column that is boolean (it is a checkbox column).
So that myDataTable.Col umn["myColName"]..DataType.Unde rlyingSystemTyp e ==
System.Boolean. For printing purposes, I would like to change this from a
boolean to a string, so that I may manipulate the output to read "X" instead
of true, and "" for false. If I attempt to change the DataColumn type
currently, I get an error stating that I cannot change the type of a column
when it has already been populated.
So, how can I convert the column type, with data in it, from boolean to
string, so that I can change all "true" to "X" and all "false" to ""?
Oh, and this is a windows application, not asp.net...if it matters in this
case.
TIA

Why would you do this? If you are printing the information, then I
would think that you are performing the operations to print yourself. When
rendering the data in that column, just perform a transformation at that
point.
How is it that you are printing the data?
Another option would be to hide the column, and add a new column that
has an expression where the text is X if it is true, a space if it is false
(the value in the corresponding column for that row). Check the Expression
property of the DataColumn class for more information on this.
Hope this helps.
