Answer 1

You could also do this.

myjavascript(<%=myBooleanVariableInCSharp ? "true" : "false" %>);

Answer 2

Try this:

myjavascript( <%= MyBooleanVariableInCSharp.ToString().ToLower() %> );

Answer 3

function toBool(s){ 
   return s==="True";
}

var b = toBool("@csharpvariable.ToBoolean()");

Answer 4

The other answers are targeting the old version, before Razor
if you are using Razor then this is the solution

myjavascript( @MyBooleanVariableInCSharp.ToString().ToLower() );

Answer 5

if you need to do this often, just add this to the top of the javascript (or your js library file, etc.)

var True = true, False = false;

Then you code

myjavascript( <%= MyBooleanVariableInCSharp %> );

Would work just fine.

Another option if for whatever reason you don't want to use the variables is to write your javascript call like this:

myjavascript( '<%= MyBooleanVariableInCSharp %>'=='True' );
