To reproduce, use the following localization provider and set a fitler to a boolean column in RadGridView, via the Custom filtering dialog. class MyRadGridLocalizationProvider : RadGridLocalizationProvider { public const string CustomTrue = "CustomTRUE"; public const string CustomFalse = "CustomFALSE"; public override string GetLocalizedString(string id) { if (id == "CustomFilterDialogTrue") { return CustomTrue; } else if (id == "CustomFilterDialogFalse") { return CustomFalse; } else { return base.GetLocalizedString(id); } } } Workaround - create custom type converter as follows: public class MyBooleanConverter : BooleanConverter { public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value) { if (value is string) { string text = Convert.ToString(value); if (text == MyRadGridLocalizationProvider.CustomTrue) { return true; } else if (text == MyRadGridLocalizationProvider.CustomFalse) { return false; } } return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value); } } and apply it to the check box column: radGridView1.Columns["BoolColumn"].DataTypeConverter = new MyBooleanConverter();
