title: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool' CheckBox
body: <p>I'm trying to convert from VB.Net to C# to read data from sql database. The following code gives me an error.<em>"Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'"</em>. It works perfectly fine in VB. How can I convert this statement to C#?<br /></p>
  
  <pre><code>chkNewEmployee.Checked = dr["chkNewEmployee"].ToString();
  </code></pre>
