Asp.net checkbox
I created a datagrid template with a checkbox. I have the checkbox bound to a data item in a sql database. As a troubleshooting process I created a textbox that is bound to the same data item. The textbox shows the value (true or false), but the checkbox is empty. Here is my code:
What could be causing the checkbox not to update?
Thank you
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" OnCheckedChanged="ToggleRo
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Style="position: static" Text='<%# Eval("Blocked") %>'
Width="95px"></asp:TextBox
</ItemTemplate>

Hmm....it almost seems like the "Checked" property is having trouble converting the value of Blocked to a True or False value...you coudl create a public function in your codebehind and do this:
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" OnCheckedChanged="ToggleRo
and in the CodeBehind
Public Function StrBool2Int(ByVal strValue As String)
If strValue.Trim.ToUpper = "TRUE" Then
Return "1"
Else
Return "0"
End If
End Function
The 1 or the Zero will be interpreted to True or False.

and in the CodeBehind
Public Function StrBool2Int(ByVal strValue As String)

End If
End Function
The 1 or the Zero will be interpreted to True or False.

the field is a varchar so I pasted the code you suggested above, and I am receiving a syntax error.

OK. I am using the option suggested by traxion, it is returing the 0 and 1 and designed, but the checkboxes are still empty.
Thank you

Checked is a boolean property, so I suspect it would be happier using:
Public Function StrToBool(ByVal strValue As String)
If strValue.Trim.ToUpper = "TRUE" Then
Return true
Else
Return false
End If
End Function

I figured out the issue, but comments from both responders were helpful so I am splitting the points. It turned out to be an issue with the some pre-render code that was being called.
thank you
