Judging from the code you've posted, it looks to me like you're letting the grid AutoGenerate its own columns? You might be better off setting that up yourself. Like Viv mentioned, you really need to have the column that represents the boolean value be a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn, which I don't believe will be AutoGenerated. Do it in the designer (when you add a new column in the designer, you choose the type in that dialog).
