How to bind Text in Gridview DataBinder asp.net c#?

Question

I am displaying my table values in the Gridview, In database in the status column i am storing the values as 'Y' and 'N' for 'Active' and 'Inactive' respectively. But while showing in the Gridview i want to show status as Active and InActive and not as Y and N.

 <asp:Label ID="lblmerstatus" runat="server" Text= '<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.STATUS") == "Y" ? "Active" : "InActive"%>'></asp:Label>

But its always showing me only InActive even when the status is Y . Please help

Solution 1 : If your table field "STATUS" return Boolean value like true(1) or false(0):

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("STATUS")) == true ? "Active" : "InActive" %>'></asp:Label>

Solution 2 : If your table field "STATUS" return string value like Y or N:

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Convert.ToString(Eval("STATUS")) == "Y" ? "Active" : "InActive" %>'></asp:Label>
