populate checkbox in listview - Winforms (VB or C#):

Winforms
VS2008

If I set theproperty "CheckBoxes=true" in a ListView, the first column will show a checkbox.

How can I populate this checkbox when looping through a dataset?

I have something like this for a regular checkbox:
this.chkActive.Checked = (rdr["active"].ToString() == "1") ? true : false

how can I do the same for the checkbox in a ListView?

The 2 error messages are:

"Error 10 The best overloaded method match for 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.ListView.ListViewItemCollection.Add(string)' has some invalid arguments"

and

Error 11 Argument '1': cannot convert from 'bool' to 'string'

This code sample fills a ListView, first column is the checkbox (and the field isActive is a BIT)...

while (rdr.Read())
{
ListViewItem lItem = ListView1.Items.Add((rdr["isActvie"].ToString() == "1") ? true : false);
lItem.SubItems.Add(rdr["transactionID"].ToString());
lItem.SubItems.Add(rdr["datecreated"].ToString());
lItem.SubItems.Add(rdr["documentType"].ToString());
lItem.SubItems.Add(rdr["documentID"].ToString());
}
