Why .NET Boolean has TrueLiteral and TrueString?
- by user309937
Why in Boolean type there are two fields with the same value?
internal const int True = 1;
internal const int False = 0;
internal const string TrueLiteral = "True";
internal const string FalseLiteral = "False";
and
public static readonly string TrueString;
public static readonly string FalseString;
static Boolean()
{
TrueString = "True";
FalseString = "False";
}
in reflector generated code, methods don't use those strings but:
public string ToString(IFormatProvider provider)
{
if (!this)
{
return "False";
}
return "True";
}
would't it be better to use those const values?
