datagrid and checkbox

[mamun]

Hi All,

I have the following situation.

In the aspx page, I have a datagrid and getting values from the
database.

I am displaying checkbox in each row of the grid. At the top of the
grid I have an "Update" button which will be used to update the
contents based on Bore_Id field. This field in the database is Number
type.

Here is the snippet of my code in page.aspx. The name (or id) of the
datagrid is BoreHolesResult . I will be updating based on the selected
checkbox and this checkbox should relate to the field Bore_Id.
<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderText="Typ e" >
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:TextBox ID="txtType" Runat="server" text='<
%#DataBinder.Ev al(Container.Da taItem, "BORE_TYPE" ) %>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>

<asp:TemplateCo lumn>
<HeaderTemplate >
<asp:Button ID="btnUpdateBo reId" Runat="server" Text="Update"
Onclick="Update BoreID"></asp:Button>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate >

<asp:CheckBox ID='chkid' enabled='<
%#((System.Data .DataRowView)Co ntainer.DataIte m)["BORE_ID"].ToString()
%>'
Runat="server">
</asp:CheckBox>

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>
In the code file (page.aspx.cs),

I have the following:

public void UpdateBoreID(ob ject sender, EventArgs e) //, string
BoreID
{

foreach (DataGridItem item in
BoreHolesResult .Items)
{
string BoreType;
CheckBox cb =
(CheckBox)BoreH olesResult.Item s[8].FindControl("c hkid");
if (cb.Checked == true)
{
BoreType =
((TextBox)item. FindControl("tx tType")).Text;
Response.Write( BoreType);
}
}
}
I am having problem and the build is failed saying cannot convert
string to bool.

I have been struggling with this for the last two days. I will highly
appreciate if you could help me.

Thanks a ton in advance.

best regards,
mamun
