If you add a checkbox from the Toolbox, click the control's smart tag, expand the CheckState property's Expression drop-down list and select a data field. This binds your control's CheckState property to a data source field.

The data field value specifies the checkbox's state:

  • True or 1 - activates the Checked state;
  • False or 0 - activates the Unchecked state;
  • Any other value - activates the Indeterminate state.

You can bind your control's CheckState the checkbox caption to a data source field. Click the control's smart tag, expand the Expression drop-down list and select the data field.

The Expression option's ellipsis button invokes the Expression Editor. This Editor allows you to construct a complex binding expression with two or more fields.
