==== Noncompliant code example

[source,vbnet,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
If BooleanMethod() = True Then ' Noncompliant
  ' ...
End If
If BooleanMethod() = False Then ' Noncompliant
  ' ...
End If
If BooleanMethod() OrElse False Then ' Noncompliant
  ' ...
End If
DoSomething(Not False) ' Noncompliant
DoSomething(BooleanMethod() = True) ' Noncompliant

Dim booleanVariable = If(BooleanMethod(), True, False) ' Noncompliant
booleanVariable = If(BooleanMethod(), True, exp) ' Noncompliant
booleanVariable = If(BooleanMethod(), False, exp) ' Noncompliant
booleanVariable = If(BooleanMethod(), exp, True) ' Noncompliant
booleanVariable = If(BooleanMethod(), exp, False) ' Noncompliant
----

==== Compliant solution

[source,vbnet,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
If BooleanMethod() Then
  ' ...
End If
If Not BooleanMethod() Then
  ' ...
End If
If BooleanMethod() Then
  ' ...
End If
DoSomething(True)
DoSomething(BooleanMethod())

Dim booleanVariable = BooleanMethod()
booleanVariable = BooleanMethod() OrElse exp
booleanVariable = Not BooleanMethod() AndAlso exp
booleanVariable = Not BooleanMethod() OrElse exp
booleanVariable = BooleanMethod() AndAlso exp
