Question

I am currently pulling data from one of my SQL Databases into my application. I can get it working for my text boxes and other items, however, I can not seem to get it to work for a checkbox. Here is the code I am using:

DataTable dt = new DataTable("dt");
using (SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(@"Connection Stuff;"))
{
    using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Box WHERE id = " + txtID.Text, sqlConn))
    {
        da.Fill(dt);
    }
}
Title.DataBindings.Add("text", dt, "title");
Picture.DataBindings.Add("text", dt, "image");
Side.DataBindings.Add("text", dt, "side");
Content.DataBindings.Add("text", dt, "content");
Check.DataBindings.Add(I dont know what to do here);

The data that is stored in the database when the checkbox is checked vs. unchecked is 0 and 1 respectivly. How would I set it to checked when the application loads if the value in the database is 1 and unchecked when it is 0?

I have tried the following:

Store the 0 or 1 in a textbox and use the following if statement:

Check.DataBindings.Add("text", dt, "check");
if (txtCheckValue.Text == 1)
{
    Check.Checked = true;
}

This way works but I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this. Hopefuly following the same Thing.DataBindings.Add() format, reason being that I do not want my application to have lots of hidden text boxes.

Answer 1

Try

Check.DataBindings.Add("Checked", dt, "check");

The first parameter is the property of the control, so instead of “Text”, you want “Checked”.
