Question

I am trying to make a checkbox checked if the value is 1 or 0 basically in my database i have
a field called Active (bit, not null) and i can pass the value to the gridview.. but now i am trying to make it checked if the bit is 1 or not checked if the bit is 0 but its not working.. it just shows unchecked but the bit is 1.

   <ItemTemplate>
   <asp:CheckBox ID="ItemCheck" runat="server"
    Enabled='<%# (DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Active")) %>' />
   </ItemTemplate>

Any help would be much appreciated

Give this a shot:

<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Checked='<%#Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Active"))%>' .. />

You can probably do it this way too:

<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Checked='<%#((bool)Eval("Active"))%>' .. />
