Lower case Boolean.ToString() value

Question

I am outputting the value of a boolean in my ASP.NET MVC Framework view, and would like to have a lower case true or false, rather than the default of True or False.

I understand that I could just do this:

@this.Model.MyBool.ToString().ToLower()

Alternatively, I could create an extension method. But this defeats the purpose of:

@this.Model.MyBool

I have read the post Why does Boolean.ToString output "True" and not "true", but most of the answers are pretty old.

Are there any more modern ways to accomplish this?

If you only want this for one bool variable you should use @Mohamed 's method. Else you can create an extension method (as you already said yourself):

public static class Extensions
{
    public static string ToLowerString(this bool _bool)
    {
        return _bool.ToString().ToLower();
    }
}

Then to use it:

public static void Main()
{
    bool testBoolean = true;
    Console.WriteLine(testBoolean.ToLowerString());
}
