| Is there a way to change the output of the ToString function for a boolean
| variable to display Yes/No?
To change the behavior of a type, you have to change its source code.
Since bool is a built-in type, you cannot change its behavior.
The easiest thing to do is to have something like:
public static string BoolToYesNo( bool b ) { return b ? "Yes" : "No"; }
You can put this method inside one of your utility classes.
Another way is to define your own boolean type whose ToString() method
return "Yes" or "No". If you go down this path, you can choose to
implement the IFormattable interface and have more formatting options.
