[boss32178]

Ok, I am new to the form and been working with c# for 3 months now. I am creating a dll that i need to use in my asp.net page The dll grabs all the forms and creat a xml page, and grabs a xml page and fills out a form in you need to update the form. my problem is i have a check box with an if statement. I am geting an error that says cannot inplicity covert type string to bool here is the code that i am using.

case "CheckBox":
Cb = (CheckBox)this.FindControl(ColName);
Cb.Checked = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][Cb.ID];
Cb.Checked = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][ColName] == "0" ? "False" : "True";
break;

You put False and True in quotes, making them strings and not boolean values.
Remove the quotes around them.
Or better yet you could try:

Cb.Checked = (ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][ColName] != "0" );
//or
Cb.Checked = !(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][ColName] == "0") ;

You should also note the possibility that the .FindControl could fail, thus return null.
If you don't check that Cb != null it could fail
