Hi All,

I have the following situation.

In the aspx page, I have a datagrid and getting values from the
database.

I am displaying checkbox in each row of the grid. At the top of the
grid I have an "Update" button which will be used to update the
contents based on Bore_Id field. This field in the database is Number
type.

Here is the snippet of my code in page.aspx. The name (or id) of the
datagrid is BoreHolesResult. I will be updating based on the selected
checkbox and this checkbox should relate to the field Bore_Id.


<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Type" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtType" Runat="server" text='<
%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "BORE_TYPE") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnUpdateBoreId" Runat="server" Text="Update"
Onclick="UpdateBoreID"></asp:Button>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>

<asp:CheckBox ID='chkid' enabled='<
%#((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["BORE_ID"].ToString()
%>'
Runat="server">
</asp:CheckBox>

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>


In the code file (page.aspx.cs),

I have the following:

public void UpdateBoreID(object sender, EventArgs e) //, string
BoreID
{

foreach (DataGridItem item in
BoreHolesResult.Items)
{
string BoreType;
CheckBox cb =
(CheckBox)BoreHolesResult.Items[8].FindControl("chkid");
if (cb.Checked == true)
{
BoreType =
((TextBox)item.FindControl("txtType")).Text;
Response.Write(BoreType);
}
}
}


I am having problem and the build is failed saying cannot convert
string to bool.

I have been struggling with this for the last two days. I will highly
appreciate if you could help me.

Thanks a ton in advance.

best regards,
mamun

try this

<asp:CheckBox ID='chkid' enabled='
%#Bool.parse(((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["BORE_ID"].ToString())
%>'
Runat="server">
</asp:CheckBox>
