if (true) Shorthand

Question

Is there a shorthand when checking a boolean for true?
Example:

if (autoConnect) Connect();

We can do

return IsOpen() ? true : false;

But I cant get

autoConnect ? Connect();  

running. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You could write an extension method:

public static void _(this bool b, Action ifTrue)
{
    if (b) { ifTrue(); }
}

then you could write:

autoConnect._(Connect);

although obviously this is not very readable and is not recommended.
