Hi,

i have a DataGridView which i have manually coded into the form, and cells 4,5,7,8,9 are checkbox fields, and i need 3 answers for the checkboxes so that when the DGV is loaded it is 'null' and then the user inputs true or false. is there a way to do this? as if i put anything other than 'true' or 'false' i get an error, i have tried to put 'Indeterminate' but that still throws an error.

C#

TMSScoreSheet.Rows[0].Cells[4].Value = "Indeterminate";
TMSScoreSheet.Rows[0].Cells[5].Value = "False";
TMSScoreSheet.Rows[0].Cells[7].Value = "False";
TMSScoreSheet.Rows[0].Cells[8].Value = "False";
TMSScoreSheet.Rows[0].Cells[9].Value = "False";

a checkbox takes a boolean value which can only be true or false. I think rather change your approach.

but a normal checkbox can have 3 check states? are they not the same as the values?

and set the checkbox to b and it worked great, thanks shahin

Hello

Use Nullable type in C#

C#

bool? b = null;

See:

And for your CheckBox, if your application is WPF, try this:

If WinForm:
