get a boolean into a checkbox from a datagridview

Im trying to get values clicking on datagrid...I got the values from textobox and combobox...but when Im trying to get a value from a boolean the form doesnt work...

  private void dtg_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
    {
        if (dtg.CurrentRow != null)
        {
            txtId.Text = dtg.CurrentRow.Cells["ID"].Value.ToString();
            txtCode.Text = dtg.CurrentRow.Cells["CODE"].Value.ToString();
            //BOOLEAN
            ckbActive.Checked = Convert.ToBoolean(dtg.CurrentRow.Cells["ACTIVE"].ToString());

What I need is get the value on "ACTIVE" column in ckbActive form Control...

Calling ToString() directly on the cell gets you the name of the type of column (i.e. "DataGridViewTextBoxCell" or similar), which can't be converted to a valid boolean:

ckbActive.Checked = Convert.ToBoolean(dtg.CurrentRow.Cells["ACTIVE"].ToString());

The actual value of the cell is accessible through the Value property, so use this instead:

ckbActive.Checked = Convert.ToBoolean(dtg.CurrentRow.Cells["ACTIVE"].Value);
