filtering data view with row filter using boolean value

[Brian Henry]

say i have a dataset called dv

and i have a boolean value i want to filter by "b_DoesWork"

while the column name in the data view that i want to filter on is called
"Works" how would i filter this since the rowfilter is a string? i tried

dv.rowfilter = "Works = " & b_DoesWork

and get errors back in the IDE that says

Cannot bind to the new value member. Parameter name: value

when I try to set the value of b_DoesWork through a property. what it does
is sets the b_DoesWork = value when the property is set then updates the row
filter to be what i stated above... but that error happens... how would you
go about doing this with a boolean? and technically i will need 5 boolean
filters on that same row filter in the end... because 5 properties can be
set boolean wise on this custom control that will be displaying data based
on the filtered data thanks!

concatenate it so that it looks like = "ColumnName = true'

Hi Brian,

You can try

dv.rowfilter = "Works = " & b_DoesWork.ToString()
