I have to make label and link button True or False according to tha value retrieved from database.This is getBoolStatus method which i am calling.

C#

public bool getBoolStatus(int BoolStatus)
        {
            bool status;
            switch (BoolStatus)
            {
                case 1:
                    status = true;
                    break;
                default:
                    status = false;
                    break;
            }
            return status;
        }

I am getting following error

Cannot create an object of type 'System.Boolean' from its string representation '<% getBoolStatus(Convert.ToInt32(Eval("Approved"))) %>' for the 'Visible' property.

Please help me...

If the Approved field is a boolean value in the database why are you trying to convert it to an Int just to convert it back to a boolean?

Then why try to convert it to an int before sending to this method? Pass the value in, then convert it as necessary. You will then be able to debug.
