Trying to pass in a boolean C# variable to a javascript variable and set it to true

Having issues where in my .aspx page I pass in a boolean variable (C#) to a javascript function that is expecting a boolean type.

BUt the C# variable returns True, and javascript doesn't like the uppercase.

myjavascript( <%= MyBooleanVariableInCSharp %> );

If I convert the c# variable to string, then my javascript variable becomes a string and not a js bool value!

what is the solution to this nightmare? lol

Solution 1:

Try this:

myjavascript( <%= MyBooleanVariableInCSharp.ToString().ToLower() %> );

if you need to do this often, just add this to the top of the javascript (or your js library file, etc.)

var True = true, False = false;

Then you code

myjavascript( <%= MyBooleanVariableInCSharp %> );

Would work just fine.

Another option if for whatever reason you don't want to use the variables is to write your javascript call like this:

myjavascript( '<%= MyBooleanVariableInCSharp %>'=='True' );
