How to convert Boolean type into "ON" "OFF" using String.Format

Question

Is there are any way to convert Boolean type into "ON"/"OFF" using string formatter, like:

Dim inpValue as Boolean
Dim outValue = String.Format("0:ON;OFF", inpValue)
' should show OFF as output

without code or IFormatProvider?

Answer 1

What is wrong with:

Dim inpValue as Boolean
Dim outValue = If(inpValue, "ON", "OFF")

Answer 2

Here's a crazy trick from another question but it's completely unreadable. I strongly advise you not to do this! If you are of nervous disposition, stop reading now.

String.Format("{0:ON;ON;OFF}", CDbl(inpValue)) 

This converts the Boolean to -1 or 0 and then uses a custom numeric format.
