Convert a Checkbox value to text in a Formview item template

In an Item template in a formview I have a checkbox thus:

parking:
<asp:CheckBox ID="parkingCheckBox" runat="server" Checked='<%#
eval("parking") %>'
Enabled="false" / >

However I don't want to display "parking" followed by a ticked/unticked box
but rather to display "parking" (in a label?) if the check box is ticked, and
not to display anything if it is unticked. How can I do this?

Maybe setup something like (in C#):
....
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval("parking").ToString() == "1" : "parking" ? String.Empty %>
</ItemTemplate>
....

At least that's how I've done it with a DataGrid.

Thanks a lot. I was surprised to find that the ternary operator did not exist
in vb.net and in VB the result looks like this:

<%#IIf(Eval("parking") = "true", "parking </br>", String.Empty)%>
