Is there any way to avoid use of Ternary Operator?

Question

User.UserRoleID == 9 ? false : true

Suppose this is my condition and it is now using the ternary operator.
Could someone suggest some other method other than If

Answer 1

Just turn around the comparison:

bool b = User.UserRoleID != 9;

Answer 2

Patrick Hofman's answer is perfect for OP case, since it's very specifically returning true/false. For a more general case, if is the way to go:

User.UserRoleID == 9 ? doOneStuff() : doTheOtherStuff()

it can be easily substituted by the equivalent if/else

if(User.UserRoleID == 9){
   doOneStuff();
}else{
   doTheOtherStuff();
}

In case of assignments and returns, you need to express the left part in both branches:

 int foo = (User.UserRoleID == 9) ? doOneStuff() : doTheOtherStuff()

 if(User.UserRoleID == 9){
       int foo = doOneStuff();
    }else{
       int foo = doTheOtherStuff();
    }

In case of this ternary being a parameter you'll need to explicitely extract it to a variable:

int result = myFunction(User.UserRoleID == 9 ? 4 : 5)

 int parameter;
 if(User.UserRoleID == 9){
       parameter = 4;
    }else{
       parameter = 5;
    }
result = myFunction(parameter);
