Changing bool values to opposite of the initial value

Question

This maybe sound strange to you but I\'m too lazy to write everytime like

if (threadAlive)
{
            threadAlive = false;
}
        else
{
            th

You can't overload operators for basic types if that's what you're looking for.

As everyone else mentioned already, this is by far your best option:

threadAlive = !threadAlive;

You can however, although is something I would never recommend, create your own bool type and overload the ++ or whatever operator you wish to invert your value.

The following code is something that should never be used anyway:

public class MyBool
{
    bool Value;

    public MyBool(bool value)
    {
        this.Value = value;
    }

    public static MyBool operator ++(MyBool myBoolean)
    {
        myBoolean.Value = !myBoolean.Value;
        return myBoolean;
    }
}

You can also create your own extension method but that won't be be a better way either.
