In this article, you will learn what is the difference between bool and Boolean data type in C# .Net.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool a= true;
boolean b= "minify" == "code";
}Output:
a= true
b= false
1. Which one to use and when?
2. What is the difference between bool and Boolean?
In other words the Boolean represents the System.Boolean class while bool is the keyword for the System.Boolean that we can use to create Boolean objects.
Hense, the answer is both are one and the same and both can be used. But it is recommended to use the bool as that is the alias for the class System.Boolean.

Adding the <AlternatingTemplate> below the <ItemTemplate> will show files with a different background color for every alternate row.
<AlternatingItemTemplate>
<div style="padding:3px; border:solid 1px #FFF; background:#black">

<SeparatorTemplate><hr />

Add the <HeaderTemplate> element just above the <ItemTemplate>
<HeaderTemplate>
<div style="padding-bottom:20px"><strong>Files</strong> (Header)</div>

Code Behind In C#
Control ft = rp.Controls[rep.Controls.Count - 1].Controls[0];
Label lbl_Footer = ft.FindControl("lblFooter") as Label;
lbl_Footer.Text = "Showing total <b>" + fileList.Length + "</b> files in the Footer.";
