    I have a DynamicEntity that one of its fields is of CrmBoolean type. I need to display the value (either 'true' or 'false'). How would this be done?
    example:

    CrmBoolean myValue;
    myvalue = myentity[somename].Value; (??? Value is not valid in this case)

    I want myvalue to have either 'true' or 'false' whichever the value of myentity[somename] is.

    I got it:

    myvalue = (CrmBoolean)myentity[somename]).Value;

    So Basically you need to set 
    myValue.Value = true; // or false
    //
    CrmBoolean boolean = new CrmBoolean();
boolean.Value = true;

    No!!

    Your solution is hardcoding the value of 'myvalue' to true (or false)
    What I need is set the value of 'myvalue' object to whichever the value of myentity[somename] value is.

    That is:

    myvalue  = (the value of) myentity[somename] 
    rather then
    myvalue = true;

    Hope this is clearer now.

    myvalue.Value = true; was really getting to a lot of the crux of his issue.  I was hardcoding to illustrate.

    I was showing him that .Value had to be added to his CrmBoolean to assign the value of true or false (as he stated). I also pointed to the sdk resource that shows how to work with CrmBoolean.

    His casting to a CrmBoolean just handled it from the other end of the equation.  As he said he wanted to assign either true or false.  If he used MyValue.Value he could have done so.

    So I will argue that he got it from me :) 

    :P   I'll be nice and vote you as helpful though.

    Although Jamie's intentions may have been noble (and techincally correct), P's answer to my other post (related to a simmilar issue) was right on the money.
