Question

Is it possible to use together any way operator ?? and operator && in next case:

bool? Any
{
   get
   {
      var any = this.ViewState["any"] as bool?;
      return any.HasValue ? any.Value && this.SomeBool : any;
   }
}

This means next:

• if any is null then this.Any.HasValue return false
• if any has value, then it returns value considering another boolean property, i.e. Any && SomeBool

Answer 1

I’m wondering why nobody has suggested this so far:

bool? any = this.ViewState["any"] as bool?;
return any & this.SomeBool;

This returns

• null if any is null, no matter what the value of this.SomeBool is;
• true if both any and this.SomeBool are true; and
• false if any is not null, and this.SomeBool is false.
