Can .NET convert “Yes” & “No” to boolean without If?

Question

You would think there would be a way using DirectCast, TryCast, CType etc but all of them seem to choke on it e.g.:

CType(\"Yes\", Boolean)

Answer 1

Public Function TrueFalseToYesNo(thisValue As Boolean) As String
    Try
        If thisValue Then
            Return "Yes"
        Else
            Return "No"
        End If
    Catch ex As Exception
        Return thisValue.ToString
    End Try
End Function
