Hi all,

Does anyone else get annoyed at the extra hastle required to set and bind the 
Visibility property? 

I mean, how easy was it in the "old days" to simply set IsVisible=true or 
IsVisible=false? You didn't 
need a Visibility to Bool converter, which is extra unneccessary processing, 
and an extra point of 
failure if it's forgotten, and more text to make mistakes. 

I mean, come on, there are only two states. There will never be a third state. 
Instead of writing in 
my code:

TermTextBox.IsVisible = MyBoolVar;

I have to write something like:
TermTextBox.Visibility = (MyBoolVar ? Visibility.Visible : 
Visibility.Collapsed);

Does it somehow give it extra contextual meaning for all the extra effort? No. 

Can there be a third state, somehow semi-visible. No - that would be handled 
via an opacity or 
animation.

There is only a single meaning!

It's Friday, bring it on!

Regards,
Tony
