Updating SQL server int field with gridview checkbox value

I am using VS 2010 .net4. I have a grid view on my page that has a check box. Once the user checks it, then submits the data,the check box clears.

Help please.
Thankyou

Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand("Insert into projectsHeader (ProjectName, StatusDate, StartDate, EndDate, PercentComplete, ProjectSponsor, ProjectManager, IRDirector, Status, ProjectOpen) Values (@pn, @sd, @std, @ed, @pc, @ps, @pm, @ird, @st, @po)", Conn)

        'find gridview variables
        Dim pn As TextBox = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("tbProjectName"), TextBox)
        Dim sd As TextBox = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("tbStatusDate"), TextBox)
        Dim std As TextBox = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("tbStartDate"), TextBox)
        Dim ed As TextBox = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("tbEndDate"), TextBox)
        Dim pc As TextBox = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("tbPercent"), TextBox)
        Dim ps As DropDownList = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("ddSponsor"), DropDownList)
        Dim pm As DropDownList = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("ddProjectManager"), DropDownList)
        Dim ird As DropDownList = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("ddDirector"), DropDownList)
        Dim st As DropDownList = CType(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("ddStatus"), DropDownList)
        Dim po As CheckBox = DirectCast(gvProjects.FooterRow.FindControl("cbopen"), CheckBox)
        
        

       

        'set footer row for insert
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pn", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = pn.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@sd", SqlDbType.Date).Value = sd.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@std", SqlDbType.Date).Value = std.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ed", SqlDbType.Date).Value = ed.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pc", SqlDbType.Decimal).Value = pc.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ps", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ps.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pm", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = pm.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ird", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ird.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@st", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = st.Text
        myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@po", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = po.Text
        

            'open connection
            Conn.Open()

            myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
            'close connection
            Conn.Close()

            'refresh the page
            Response.Redirect("NewProjectsDataEntry.aspx")

    End Sub

Open in new window

For a CheckBox, I believe you want the Checked property and not Text. What is likely happening is you are passing a string that doesn't evaluate to a boolean|bit and so is leaving the field as FALSE and as such the text box reverts to UnChecked.

Hi,
Use following
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@po", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = po.Checked

notice that you are using po.Text

Thanks
