You start will a boolean
You output an int based on that boolean
you try to cast the int back to a boolean
and then you cast that as an object.

No - you cannot convert an int to a boolean

Are you sure, Andy?
Test it:

int input = 5;
bool output = input==1 ? true : false;

You can output whatever you like like from an if statement but the cast won't work.

And you code is pointless. Why not just bool output = input==1

The input==1 is a Boolean operand. The result is a boolean. Display_Normal_cashflow must also be a boolean as it is used as the condition of the inline if.

What kind of value returns Display_Normal_cashflow?

Richard MacCutchan 28-May-15 7:00am

Fairly obviously (from the inline if/else) it's a boolean value.

Why not this:

C#

this.EasyMoneyMarathi.SetParameterValue("Display_Normal_cashflow", Display_Normal_cashflow);

I was kinda hoping he would figure that out himself :S

Richard MacCutchan 28-May-15 6:57am

Judging by what he wrote I don't think there is much chance. It's the same as all the people who use conversions and ToString's unnecessarily, no real idea what they are doing.

Agreed.
My 5.

Sure, a 5.

this.EasyMoneyMarathi.SetParameterValue("Display_Normal_cashflow", (object)Display_Normal_cashflow);

or just this

this.EasyMoneyMarathi.SetParameterValue("Display_Normal_cashflow", Display_Normal_cashflow);
