Replace boolean with an image in a ASPXGridView

Question

I have a few columns on my ASPXGridView which contain boolean values.

I want to replace the the values that are 'True' with a tick icon. Then I want to replace the values which are false with a cross icon.

Is there a way of doing this? I already have the icon images for the tick and cross.

Thanks

You can do something like this:

ASPX:

<ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Image ID="imgBooleanState" runat="server" AlternateText="State" ImageUrl='<%# GetBooleanState(Eval("MyBooleanValue")) %>' />
</ItemTemplate>

Code behind:

protected string GetBooleanState(object state)
{
    bool result = false;
    Boolean.TryParse(state.ToString(), out result);
    if (result)
    {
         return ResolveUrl("~/path/tick.png");
    }
    else
    {
         return ResolveUrl("~/path/cross.png");
    }
}
