Binding Nullable Bit (in DB) to CheckBox ASP.Net Web Forms Model Binding

Question

Im leveraging model binding in my ASP.Net WebForms application, facing problem while binding nullable bit to checkbox, in my aspx page i have something like

<li>IS A ChkBox</li>
   <li>
     <asp:CheckBox ID="someid" runat="server"
                  MaxLength="100" Checked='<%# BindItem.databaseValue%>'>
     </asp:CheckBox>                        
   </li>

initially when the form is populated the value is null and i get a NullReferenceException, Object reference not set to an instance of an object., how can i get around this.

Regards

Answer 1

I am going to take a stab

Checked='<%# BindItem.databaseValue ?? false %>'

I think this works with Item (AKA Eval) anyway. CheckBox is weird.
