Question

My table having a field fld_status. It hold the values 0 and 1. 0 means active ,1 means inactive. But i want to show the meaning full name like active for 0 in the Gridview. Is there is any way to change this value 0 and 1 meaningful name in Gridview other than query?

 <asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-Width="40px" HeaderText="STATUS">
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <asp:Label ID="lbl_status" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Fld_status")%>'></asp:Label>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                    <ItemStyle Width="40px"></ItemStyle>
                                </asp:TemplateField>

In gridview STATUS column show 0 and 1. I want to show only active and inactive based on o and 1.

If you use a TemplateField:

<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-Width="40px" HeaderText="STATUS">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lbl_status" runat="server" 
            Text='<%# (Eval("Fld_status")==1) ? "active" : "inactive" %>'>
        </asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <ItemStyle Width="40px"></ItemStyle>
</asp:TemplateField>

or from the GridView’s RowDataBound:

protected void gridview1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        DataRow row = ((DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem).Row;
        bool isActive = row.Field<int>("Fld_status") == 1;
        Label lbl_status = (Label) e.Row.FindControl("lbl_status");
        lbl_status.Text = isActive ? "active" : "inactive"; 
    }
}
