Checkboxfield in GridView

[Illegal Operation]

Hi! How can I create a ItemTemplate Checkbox that that gets the data from a database and display only the checkboxes and not the TRUE or FALSE text. The Code I currently have looks like this:

If I change the "Text" to "Checked" I get a Cast error. Can anyone please help?

Use Checked Property for that. Like :

DBField should the field of your database.

Try this: <asp:CheckBox ID="chkLunch" runat="server" Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("IsLunch")) %>' /> This should work provided IsLaunch should return value that is convertable to Boolean.

Have you tried like this :

<asp:templatefield headertext="Author Name">
<itemtemplate>
<asp:Checkbox id="chkLunch" runat="server" Text= '<%# Eval("IsLunch") %>' />
</itemtemplate>

Means have you placed in the ItemTemplate of asp:templatefield ?
