Question

How to use ternary operator with System::Boolean? This sample code always returns true:

bool Test(Boolean^ value)
{
  return value ? true : false;
}

Answer 1

Answering my own premature question, this code works:

bool Test(Boolean^ value)
{
  return (bool)value ? true : false;
}

EDIT: better yet (and following Hans’ and Matt’s advice) this code works better:

bool Test(Boolean value)
{
  return value ? true : false;
}

Or, because Boolean and bool are convertible this is also good code, which relies on automatic conversion that happens elsewhere. Example has very little sense except for showing the ternary operator:

bool Test(bool value)
{
  return value ? true : false;
}
