Hi Guys!

New in SalesLogix Web, im trying to do a simple thing: create a checkbox, in the contact details form... and in the "databind" property of this checkbox, select the name of the field in database, where the information will bre saved. But i tryed all ways and things, and when i "build", everytime gives me this error "String was not recognized as a valid Boolean."...Someone knows what im doingo wrong?

thanks!!

You have to update the Entity.

The SLX Boolean fields are actually define as char(1) on the Database.

When you add the field onto the Entity, SalesLogix brings it in as a String.

You need to Edit the Entity and change the Field to a TrueFalse type instead.

The cause of the Error is that, as a String, the Field returns a "T" or "F" to the Control when binding.

If defined properly, it returns "True" or "False", which is what the checkbox is expecting.

Raul, you´re the man!!! Worked perfectly!!! Thanks so much!!

Thanks for this, I have just added 2 fields on a custom form in SLX 8.0 app architect, and I can't see where to set the true/false type...

I must be blind!

Can you please enlighten me? I must have done it prevviously as the form is full of checkboxes!

Cheers

Zane
