Passing a boolean value in my .net MVC view to a javascript, but JS doesn't accept True, wants true

Question

Hi,

I am passing a boolean value to a javascript function in my .net mvc action page.

problem is, it is outputting the value True and javascript apparently only accepts 'true' (in lower case).

I don't want to hack the variable and make it a string and convert it to lower case in my action, but it looks like I have no choice?

Answer 1

If you're using the ToString() method on a .NET boolean to send the value to Javascript, try replacing it with something like

(myBoolean ? "true" : "false")

so that it gets sent to Javascript as the appropriate string representation of the required bool value.

Answer 2

You want to use this:

(.NET 3.5) System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.Serialize

Answer 3

You can use the javascript Boolean() method
if (Boolean(value)) {}
