How to Databind a CheckBoxAdv to Bit Field in SQL Database

25 May 20213 minutes to read

The CheckBoxAdv BoolValue property can be used to data bind to bit values as illustrated below.

c#

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public static string dataBasePath = Path.GetFullPath("..\\..\\Database1.mdf");
    public  string connectString = @"Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=" + dataBasePath + ";Integrated Security=True";
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        using (SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(connectString))
        {
            sqlConnection.Open();

            SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Table]", sqlConnection);

            DataTable dataTable = new DataTable("Table");
            dataAdapter.Fill(dataTable);

            dataGridView1.DataSource = dataTable;
            this.checkBoxAdv1.DataBindings.Add("BoolValue", dataTable, "CheckValue");
        }
    }
}

vb

Public Partial Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Public Shared dataBasePath As String = Path.GetFullPath("..\..\Database1.mdf")
    Public connectString As String = "Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=" & dataBasePath & ";Integrated Security=True"

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()

        Using sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectString)
            sqlConnection.Open()
            Dim dataAdapter As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Table]", sqlConnection)
            Dim dataTable As DataTable = New DataTable("Table")
            dataAdapter.Fill(dataTable)
            dataGridView1.DataSource = dataTable
            Me.checkBoxAdv1.DataBindings.Add("BoolValue", dataTable, "CheckValue")
