So this is what my code looks like as far stripped down as possible: private void CreateAnimalTable() { // Bind source to a table dataGridView1.DataSource = dt; // Create columns dt.Columns.Add( "ID" , typeof ( string )); // Så vi kan få rätt ID på ett djur som har flera leksaker dt.Columns.Add( "Name" , typeof ( string )); dt.Columns.Add( "Hungry" , typeof ( string )); DataGridViewColumn column1 = dataGridView1.Columns[0]; DataGridViewColumn column2 = dataGridView1.Columns[1]; DataGridViewColumn column3 = dataGridView1.Columns[2]; UpdateAnimalList(); } UpdateAnimalList private void UpdateAnimalList() { // Clear table dt.Clear(); dt.Rows.Add( new object [] { animalId, animal.Name, animal.IsHungry, }); Property in the Animal object public bool IsHungry { get ; set ; }

@ Jignesh Kumar "As per your code just you have done change to convert values from boolean to yes or no. After that again you need to assign value to Goodview column." I didn't follow. Can this be done in the design view?

Jignesh Kumar · Answer

As per your code just you have done change to convert values from boolean to yes or no. After that again you need to assign value to Goodview column.

Where should I place this in a datagridview that have a boolean column? Following didn't work unfortunately. Still shows up as true and false void dataGridView_CellFormatting( object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e) { var grid = (DataGridView)sender; if (grid.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "Hungrig" ) { e.Value = ( bool )e.Value ? "MY_TEXT_FOR_TRUE" : "MY_TEXT_FOR_FALSE" ; e.FormattingApplied = true ; } }

P K · Answer

Yes, You can check like string y= x==1?"Yes":"No"

Jignesh Kumar · Answer

Hi Chris, Please use this one, var grid = (DataGridView)sender; if (grid.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "Hungrig" ) { if ( e.Value is bool ) { e.Value = ( bool )e.Value == true ? "MY_TEXT_FOR_TRUE" : "MY_TEXT_FOR_FALSE" ; e.FormattingApplied = true ; } }
