Binding the Checked Property of a CheckBox within a TemplateItem
asp.net, checkbox, data-binding, gridview, templatefield
Solution
It may be because of the double quotes you've used. Try:
checked= '<%# Eval("Deactivated") %>'
Problem
For the life of me I cannot bind the Checked property of a CheckBox control within a TemplateField (declaritively). I have tried: ``` <asp:TemplateField> <ItemTemplate> <asp:CheckBox ID="deactivated" runat="server" checked="<%#Eval("Deactivated")%>"></asp:CheckBox> </ItemTemplate> <asp:TemplateField> ``` and ``` <asp:TemplateField> <ItemTemplate> <asp:CheckBox ID="deactivated" runat="server" checked="<%#Eval(Container.DataItem, "Deactivated")%>"></asp:CheckBox> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> </asp:TemplateField> ``` I keep seeing a warning stating: Cannot create an object of type 'System.Boolean' from it's string representation' 'for the 'Checked' property What am I doing wrong?
