change value of yes/no field in sharepoint

sharepoint-2010

Solution

For a Yes/No field, you should set it to "1" or "0":

item["ZIP_x0020_Code_x0020_Linked"] = "0";

Problem

I have a field of type Yes/No (checkbox) in my sharepoint list. I am trying to change/set the value of the field programmatically (server code), but it give me an error saying that it should be 1 or 0. I cannot get it working. Can anyone help me please? here that part of the code: ``` SPListItem item = reportList.Items.Add(); item["RequesterID"] = id; **item["ZIP_x0020_Code_x0020_Linked"] = 0;** item["ZC_x0020_code"] = txtZcCode.Text; item.Update(); ```
