    Syntax on Boolean if statement in partial view template

    Just struggling with syntax on an MVC template. Seems like something straight forward but I just cant' get it to work.

    Essentially I am trying to show a section if a true/false value is true..something like this, but it's obviously not correct

          @if ("@Umbraco.Field("optInAsset") == True")
            {   
            <p>TRUE..so show this stuff</p>
            }
else
    {
    <p>false yo</p>
    }

    Hi Brian,

    How about this?

    @if(CurrentPage.optInAsset == "True"){
         <p>TRUE..so show this stuff</p>
    }else{
        <p>false yo</p>
    }

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis, thanks for your help...that didn't seem to do it either...gave me an error:

    "Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException: Operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'bool' and 'string'"

    This seems to be doing the trick though:

     @if ((Umbraco.Field("optInAsset").ToString() == "True"))
            {
            <p>Show this stuff</p>
            }
            else
            {

                <p> show this other stuff</p>
            }

    not sure if it's the best way but it's doing the trick for now..thanks

    If optInAsset is a data type using the "True/False" property editor then this can be simply

    @if(CurrentPage.optInAsset){
     <p>TRUE..so show this stuff</p>
}else{
    <p>false yo</p>
}

    Thanks Jeavon, that helped me out too!

    I was stuck with the classic case of over complicating!
