CheckBoxes in DataGrid

Hi guys,

I created DataGrid with few checkboxes. I want to bind the checkboxes
and check them if they match a string in a database. An if statement
would look something like this:
if (dataRowChb["AddressTypeCode"].ToString() == "u") checkbox1.checked
= true

Now how would I do it in datagrid using TemplateField:
<asp:TemplateField>
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBoxU" runat="server" />
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBoxU" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("AddressTypeCode") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>

I'll have 5 checkboxes each for unique character (u, a, c...) and if
there exist AddressId with that AddressTypeCode the check box should be
checked.

Thanks,
draku

hello dra...,
try this,

best regards,
<asp:TemplateField>
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBoxU" runat="server"
Checked = '<%# Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
""AddressTypeCode").ToString() == "u"%' />
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>

or you can do a method that accepts the datarow view and return the
bool value. This is reccomened for complex expressions.
