Change DataGrid value while associating DataSet

In Windows application, in DataSet, I hv one column “Status”. This will have the value ranging from 1 to 5.
While displaying content of this DataSet in DataGrid, “Status” value should be converted into meaningful text like
1 = “New”, 2 = “Open” … 5 = “Closed”

Can you please shed any light on achieving this.

thanks

Try modifying the information in your dataset with the appropriate string values before binding it with the datagrid.

DataSet is associted with the XML schema (i'm reading the data from XML source) and it 'll not allow me to change the content to different datatype

write that logic inside the ItemDataBound event of the datagrid which is called before the data is bound to the grid.
This event is called once for every record bound to the grid.So check for the value in the required column,if it is 1 then set it to "one" or whatever text you want to.When the record is bound to the grid it will have this text value insetad of the previous number.
