Numeric Data in MySQL displays as Boolean TRUE/FALSE in textboxes on VB 2010

Question

I have a field in my mySQL database which has a dataype of smallint(2). I connected my database to VB 2010 and I can't get the number to display in the textbox. Other numeric values display correctly aside from this one. This particular data only displays TRUE although it is not of the Boolean data type. I checked my BindingSource and indeed VB 2010 recognizes it as boolean when it shouldn't.
