If your column has been already created due to binding with a recordset of BIT type, the type of the column will be text anyway. The solution I have found is to remove that column and replace it with a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn having the same binding data.

DataGridViewColumn oldCol = dgViewCategory.Columns["mycolumn"];
int chkIdx = oldCol.Index;
DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn chkCol = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
chkCol.HeaderText = oldCol.HeaderText;
chkCol.FalseValue = "False";
chkCol.TrueValue = "True";
chkCol.DataPropertyName = oldCol.DataPropertyName;
chkCol.Name = oldCol.Name;
dgViewCategory.Columns.RemoveAt(chkIdx);
dgViewCategory.Columns.Insert(chkIdx, chkCol);
