null-coalescing-operator

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

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
