VB .Net - Boolean Values in Access database
How do I handle boolean values in a access database? I want ionvert the value of what exists in the database. If the value is false in the cell, I want to make it true. And the other way around. I was thinking something like below:
Dim assetRow As dataset.assetRow
assetRow = Dataset.assetRow.FindByassetnr(assetNr)
If IsDBNull(assetRow.active) Then
With assetRow
.BeginEdit()
.active = true
.EndEdit()
End With
End If
If assetRow.active = True Then
With assetRow
.BeginEdit()
.active = false
.EndEdit()
End With
Else
With assetRow
.BeginEdit()
.active = true
.EndEdit()
End With
End If
End If
Dataadapter.Update(Dataset.GetChanges())

No, not yet, but shouldnt it be ok to use false and true?
You can also use the actual values: 0 for false and 1 for true.

I never actually fixed the error where the values didnt get stored in the database, but they did get inverted in the dataset and datagrid.
.active = Not .active
