Umbraco Navigation - Partial View

Question

I have a True/False editor in my page doc type and I am using if to create the site navigation.

If topNavigation Checkbox is checked display item in the navigation

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    var root = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().First();
    var nodes = root.Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("topNavigation") != "True");

}


  <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
    @foreach (var page in nodes)
        {
        <p>@page.GetPropertyValue("topNavigation")</p>
        <li class="@(page.IsAncestorOrSelf(Model.Content) ? "current" : null)">
            <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down"></span></a>
        </li>
        }
    </ul>
@*}*@

I can't seem to compare against a true value.

This shows everything -

var nodes = root.Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("topNavigation") != "True");

..and this show nothing

var nodes = root.Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("topNavigation") == "True");

Even though the checkboxes are checked.

You should able to use GetPropertyValue<bool>

var root = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().First();
var nodes = root.Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<bool>("topNavigation"));
