Hi Satheeshkumar,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.

We suggest you to use Format() method for the columns to display Boolean values(true or false) instead of check box. Please refer the below code snippet.

<%=Html.Syncfusion().Grid("SyncfusionGrid")
----
.Column(column => {
----
column.Add(P => P.Discontinued).HeaderText("Discontinued").Format("{0}");
})
-----
%>

For your convenience, we have prepared a simple sample to demonstrate this and the same can be downloaded from the below link.

Hi Nguyen, 

 

Query: I have a data source with Boolean value and I want to display as a checkbox. 

By default, Grid displays the Boolean property as checkbox. So, here it is not required to set Format () method for the column  

Please refer to the code and screenshot. 

 

 

.Column(column => 

                         { 

                             column.Add(p => p.ProductID).HeaderText("Order ID").Width(90).TextAlign(TextAlignment.Right); 

                             column.Add(p => p.ProductName).Width(100); 

                             column.Add(p => p.Discontinued).Width(90);//set boolean property to this column.                          

                         }) 

 

 

 

 

For your convenience, we have prepared a sample.
