Question

I fill the dvgPeople with the values from database. Insert/Update/Delete/Select commands work fine. The thing I want to do is to fill some components on form with the selected row’s values. I can fill the textboxes but I can’t handle the checkboxes. And here is the code.

if (dgvPeople.CurrentRow.Cells[6].Value == "1")
{
    chkGerman.Checked = true;
}
else 
{
    chkGerman.Checked = false;
}

And when I debug this strange case occurs:

Even dgvPeople.CurrentRow.Cells[6].Value = 1, it is still false.

Your trying to check a boolean value against a string object.

This will work:

if (dgvPeople.CurrentRow.Cells[6].Value.ToString() == "1")
{
    chkGerman.Checked = true;
}
else
{
    chkGerman.Checked = false;
}
