checkbox databind does not work

DataBinder.Eval will give you an object, not an int. You'll either
need to cast it or teach fbool to deal with it.

public string fbool(object o)
{
try
{
if ((int)o == 1)
return "true";
}
catch
{
// not an integer.
}
return "false";
}

Good luck!

Hi,

My idea is dont modify the function, instead try CInt() in the .aspx file.
i.e., CInt(DataBinder.Eval(......)).

Hope it helps.

i am trying to bind a checkbox to a tablecolumn available (integer)

i get an error:

'The best overloaded method match for Company.Customers.fbool(int)' has some
invalid arguments'


datagrid:

<aspataGrid..>

<Columns>

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="available">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox id="cbAvailable"
Checked='<%#fbool(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.available"))%>'
Runat="server"></asp:CheckBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>



<Columns>

</aspataGrid..>



fbool function:

public string fbool(int i)

{

if (i==1)

{

return "true";

}

else

{

return "false";

}

}



thanks



Jim
