Why can't a static method return a boolean?

[qotyebw]

This version works...
private static string Check4Palindrome(string inString)
{
.....
.....
return "true";
}

But, this won't. Debug info says to instantiate an object first..
private static bool Check4Palindrome(string inString)
{
.....
.....
return true;
}

I'd like to know why this is, so I can avoid further dispair!

There's no reason why it can't return a bool.

Hmmm. Are you including the System namespace?

This has been a "red herring" issue. The same code now works when written in a fresh new solution/project.

Thanks anyway..

Compare your .csproj files for differences.
