Cannot convert type 'string' to 'bool' while binding List view

I try to Bind Checkbox Checked property in side ListView Like this :

<asp:CheckBox ID="chk_holi_sal" runat="server" Class="chk_holi_sal" Checked="<%#:Item.HasSal%>" />

public bool HasSal
{
    get { return SALARY_CALC == 1; }
}

But I get the following compiler error :

Compiler Error Message: CS0030: Cannot convert type 'string' to 'bool'

I check the values of <%#:Item.HasSal%> and find it 's equal True OR False

Why do I get this error all the time ?

According to the Answers to use Eval instead of take advantage of the strongly type value for the ListView Control ,I face new exception :

The Following line worked with me :

 <input id="chk_holi_sal" class="chk_holi_sal" type="checkbox" checked=' <%# Eval("HasSal") %>' disabled="disabled" runat="server" value="<%#:Item.HasSal%>" />

I try to use the strongly-Typed feature but it fails,I have to use Eval.

try with this code

<asp:CheckBox  ID="chk_holi_sal" runat="server" Checked="<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Item.HasSal")) %>"  />

or with ternary operator

<asp:CheckBox  ID="chk_holi_sal" runat="server" Checked=
  <%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Item.HasSal")) ? true : false %> />
