C#/Xamarin bug? Booleans

This is weird. I have this C# code:

bool value = (((Literal)expr.left).value == ((Literal)expr.right).value);

When I inspect it with the Xamarin debugger, it tells me value is false, but (((Literal)expr.left).value == ((Literal)expr.right).value) is true. Why is that? I'm so confused...

Found it. ((Literal)expr.left).value is an object, which means this always will return false unless right and left are the same bool, which they're not.

Casting them both to bool will compare their value instead.

bool value = ((bool)((Literal)expr.left).value == (bool)((Literal)expr.right).value);
