Hi

I am getting error - operator == cannot be applied to operands of type object and boolean.

Status is of type bit .

String Status = row["status"] == true ? "Active" : "Blocked";

Thanks

I assume that row is a SqlDataReader. I think it is saying that row["status"] is an object, as in:

SqlDataReader.Item[] Property (System.Data.SqlClient) | Microsoft Learn
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.data.sqlclient.sqldatareader.item?view=netframework-4.8.1

If so then it must be converted to a boolean. And then you do not need the == true part.

The following article is an article about SqlDataReader.

Working With SqlDataReader Class in ADO.NET
https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/718fc8/working-with-sqldatareader-class-in-ado-net

It shows use of that class for a string field. If status is a boolean then you need to cast to a boolean.
