c# windows form datagridview cell display text

Question

I bind the datagrid from the data i get from the database using code as below

dgvName.Datasource = ds.Table[0];

The data as below

Id      Name       Active
1       Test       1
2       Test1      0
3       Test3      0

I wish to display the active as "Y" or "No" instead of 1 or 0. I try CellFormatting handler but it's not work. Active datatype is int. How I can do that? Please help.

Answer 1

The simplest you could think is: Add a new property on your class, for example

public string ActiveText 
  {
     get { return _active ? "Y" : "N"; } 
  }

and bind it to column you want
